Looks like a shitload of people accessing it several times a day, some watching it like hawks, and an entire genre of Reddit refugees who’ve taken to advertising it on a daily basis.
yeah but in this context it isn’t. I’m just saying, if people want to protest the site’s changes, it’s better for them to protest within the site itself rather going somewhere else and disturbing people there.
Reddit isn’t but the internet is. The internet has been getting shittier the past year and people feel it. How many times do you append reddit at the end of your google searches? How many times does google send you reddit search results?
Reddit is a remnant of the internet before it got centralized and capitalism fucked it up. Yes, we are federated but a majority won’t be switching for a long time. I think there is validity in defacing /r/place as it brings awareness and documents the shitty things the admins are doing. That is very powerful and easy to point and show others what is happening.
Sorry if I’m misinterpreting your comment, but that’s usually in reference to people who expect you to make unilateral sacrifices as protest. Foregoing r/place isn’t a sacrifice like foregoing a smartphone entirely is; the whole point either way (deface/ignore) is just to send a message.
Apes together still giving Reddit traffic.
It’s like writing anti-walmart propaganda on a thousand one dollar bills and then spending them all at Walmart.
Tiny, insignificant amount of traffic to send a lasting messagem. Worth it.

Wont everyone leave after r/place ends? Does it matter if the extra traffic is only temporary?
Will they? I think theyre gonna find a new way to complain about reddit while still using reddit
you criticize society… but you participate in society… curious
I’m sorry, I missed the part where Reddit is a integral and necessary part of modern life.
why stoopid
I didn’t say it was?
That’s what that meme you mentioned is usually referencing…when somebody criticizes a thing they depend on.
