xQc came and totally wiped us out. We have a lot of work in front of us and we are a bit too small a team to hold this space if someone decides to take it from us. I’m really proud of how well we’ve been able to advertise Lemmy and fuck things up with our allies in Fuck Spez and Black Company (doing the 3rd party apps protest). Help us to close out /r/place with our banner intact!
We are rebuilding from the g at the end of the url at 38,-25

I’ve never checked out a community or done anything because of a random 50 pixels on r/place. The engagement they get from this is so valuable to them, while I’d be surprised if one person joins because of these random pixels.
The argument about engagement being worth a lot is kinda silly. The initial numbers of “look at how good we can do!” immediately followed by “but everyone using it has left” isnt a good thing. Advertisers want stability not “big number for short time.”
Look at it this way: If you were an advertiser, would you go with an advertisement campaign on a site that had an average of 1000 users each and every day, or a site that had 100,000 users for a single day, and 10 for the rest of the year?
Sure but It depends on how it’s presented I feel like too, Reddit can say that r/place had x amount of interactions which is growth over the past x numbers of iterations of r/place. And Reddit now doubt has amazing retention numbers so I don’t think marketers are gonna worry about that. Either way if we’re on it or not I don’t think Reddit even notices, we’re less than a drop in the bucket. I think I’m just fatigued from Mastodon and Lemmy being full of, Look what’s happening on Twitter and look what’s happening on Reddit. It’s fatiguing when it’s every 3rd post.
I have, that’s how I discovered r/fuckcars, now c/fuckcars. I did so last time r/place was around
