I like to think that he searched amazon for “Breathy helpy machines.” and just ordered 1000 of the first result.
If I had a penny for every time a corporate figurehead says they’ll be more transparent and will engage with the users more but then they just don’t or do the opposite, I could buy reddit from Huffman
Can confirm. Steve Huffman Steve Huffmans every night.
Bluey too wholesome to be defaced.
That’s because it is. r/place is a pathetic attempt to try to bring engagement back. But honestly everything on the board is just what happened last year. Bunch of popular subs branding the same spaces on the board, people spamming with Among Us guys. Just this year has a brand new message of Fuck Spez that will no doubt be removed before the end of the event.
Going to call it. Right before place ends, they’re going to completely wipe all the Fuck Spezes.
Just waiting for my ban for placing a pixel there, tbh.
I forgot they were actively blanking out things they didn’t like. What was that cat mascot they were butthurt about?
r/Place was insanely popular… Popular enough that people bitched for a few years before they brought it back. Now Reddit’s in the corner and they’re trying to bring r/Place back. On one hand I’m very curious how it’ll turn out this year. On the other, I won’t be doing anything to it because I really don’t care for Reddit to use the community’s art as a reason for them to generate more traffic and more profit.
He’s gotta keep up with his dream daddy Elon.
A techbro saw Elon’s dumpster-fire handling of twitter and went “Yes, this makes sense!” Oh Spez, this is why we don’t idolize idiots.
Which is why people should scrub their comments. A lot of people are holding on to “The good times.” with their posts and comments. It doesn’t matter if reddit can technically undo the work, I’m still going to check and make sure it stays gone. Without that content, reddit is nothing.
In my years at reddit, I think I private messaged a single person. It was such a non-existent thing for me and honestly until I saw this, I forgot reddit even had that functionality.
It was also a fantastic, albeit kind of useless as you’re giving THEM money, way to bring visibility to posts that needed it… And now I see why they might be doing this. It’s like when Youtube removed dislikes. They want the corporate fee-fees to not be hurt so they remove the methods that allow us to express our dislike for something.
You don’t really get it, do you? Most of the mods in their respective communities cared about fostering a thriving community for their interests. Yes, power hungry mods who only do it out of power tripping exist, but those mods are the ones who are likely staying. The passionate ones, the ones who made the site, are leaving.
So now when everyone’s favorite subreddit gets installed with a bunch of new power-hungry mods, things aren’t going to be quality. There will be tons of shit flinging, tons of splitting the userbase and the general quality of the community will cease existing.
Free labor is replaceable. But passionate people are not.
It’s people like Spez and Elon who would be the first to die off in a post-apocalyptic scenario. Their “Smarts” won’t do shit if they don’t know how to survive. Not to mention high profile people will likely be the first on the chopping blocks.
Games was my favorite sub. :(
It’s a game of Jenga and Spez won’t let you take your turn. There’s no way he can win it.
What if he was the GPT3 all along?!!?
