    Nope. You need bots to coordinate pixels, people have better things to do than login there.

      We actually did all of this with no bots. All humans clicking pixels every 4 minutes. It’s impressive but also a bit sad with the amount of time that it took. We got invaded from South Africa to people from Italy but we managed to do it.

        Yep, we could load a template to follow but it was just a lot of clicking pixels to change “FARTY” back to “PARTY,” rinse, repeat.

          It will looks so good to the IPO investors when they read the single users and traffic and retention numbers on the report. They won’t see why you were there. Just that you were there.

      I’m in the discord, but unsure the best way to help. Other than just placing a pixel every 4 minutes to try and clean up the area you’ve shown.

      Feels kinda “blind” though, I’m just making an educated guess where things should go. Is there a better way?

        Yes. Do what r/afip is doing and coordinate pixel pushes. Every 5 minutes the whole server works together and places their pixels at the same time. They also coordinate by months: Jan-June and July-Dec. Check out their server if you want better coordination.

        Source: I do the countdowns.

    Hello, I’m the leader of the join-lemmy.org movement on r/place. I want to say thank you to all those involved, from our graphic designers, to the template developers, to the people placing pixels and especially our allies from Fuck Spez Coalition, Black Company, Germany, Ultimate Chicken Horse, placelgbt, and undoubtedly more.

    If you’re new here, check out my post for links to get started.

    Feeding reddit views is just helping them sell ads and get investment. Even if all of the canvas was a giant “join lemmy” ad it would still be doing reddit more good than Lemmy.

      And next month none of us will be on. Things don’t happen in a vacuum and advertisers notice. They might make money this month but if we take 100 of their users off for the next 12 months it offsets it.

      Ignoring something long enough and it will go away, just like ignoring climate change will mean it’s not a threat anymore.

        This is the equivalent of buying and burning oil in protest of climate change.

        This is quite literally how social media works. They rely on user engagement to succeed.

        Yep. Lots of stuff. Livejournal, Myspace, AOL, Digg.

        Protesting platforms that feed on engagement by engaging with those platforms is very silly. You won’t fix them.

        If you think Reddit turned space back on thinking people wouldn’t use it to protest and to promote alternatives, I feel like you haven’t been paying attention. They feed on rage, it keeps their numbers up.

        What they can’t feed on is letting them die because we don’t need or care about them anymore. Like Mab at the end of the 90s Merlin miniseries.
