Just go to the desktop site, you don't have to log in. Things are going well, in case you're curious πŸ˜†:

lots of FUCKSPEZ already

EDIT: apparently "Hurensohn" is German for "son of a bitch"

[–] nicolauz@kbin.social 31 points 1 year ago

Whore, not bitch

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

If you translate it word for word its "whoreson"

Has a nice ring to it

Join the lemmy coordination matrix chat and help get more users for our community. We have made excellently headway with the entire link on there, we need lots of help defending it though. We've made alliances with the Fuck Spez Coalition and Black Company but we still need more.

Hurensohn is way more aggressive than son of a bitch. It's son of a prostitute

Sie fragten nach mir?

[–] Bloodwoodsrisen@lemmy.tf 2 points 1 year ago

Oh i wish Coloring pixels used this image for their r/place pic instead

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

You love to see it

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.de 26 points 1 year ago

Just wait for people to post screenshots. No need for all of us to monitor the thing.

[–] glad_cat@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Traffic means nothing. Go to https://www.reddit.com/r/place/ and enjoy.

Also, old reddit does not work, and you need an email in your account to put pixels (good bye privacy).

[–] athos77@kbin.social 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Traffic means nothing.

I disagree. They have a reason for running it again, and the most obvious reason is to offset the traffic loss for July. Most advertisers aren't going to be aware that /r/place is a limited-time event. What they're going to see is what reddit will tell them: hey, we did these API changes, and yeah it cost us some traffic at the time, but traffic overall had recovered by the following month - hell, we even had a increase in traffic in July!

They know they've breached trust with their userbase, and they're trying desperately to avoid doing that with the advertisers as well.

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Traffic means they can present it as a positive thing to future investors. Yes it’s smoke and mirrors and it won’t hold long. It just has to hold until the IPO then they will run away with the bank and leave it all to burn down.

[–] sim_@beehaw.org 14 points 1 year ago

Why do you say traffic doesn’t matter? Isn’t that the most likely reason they brought r/place back?

[–] Voyajer@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

The whole reason they're running an out of season /r/place event is to drive traffic.

[–] Micromot@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

10minutemail to the rescue

[–] Cheers@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I tend to use a combination of fuckspez+1@gmail.com

You can increment the +1 to whatever and it'll count as a new email

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

you need an email in your account to put pixels

They just can't stop being idiots

Tempmail go brrrr

[–] ech@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm honestly surprised there isn't a live stream of it. Bummer.

[–] theoware@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago (5 children)
[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I can't beleve they wold post a live stream bullying that Spez fellow. I reported it. We can't allow that kind of unwholesome content on YouTube. Perhaps YouTube will take down such an offensive channel.

Also, fuck Spez.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Somehow couldn't find that. Thanks! Kinda funny looking at all that through the official Reddit YouTube channel. Wonder if they'll get banned at some point.

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What does their slogan β€œRight Place Wrong Time” means? I’m very confused.

[–] BionicHippo@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe the Reddit Admins are being tongue in cheek and referring to the dumpster fire of API changes?

Like "oops we're sorry, but come back to Reddit to show that we are still viable for our wealthy investors"

[–] roi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Although you’re probably right, my first thought was how place was an April Fools event The place being r/place, the wrong time being July 20

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I bet is something off color like that.

[–] JWBananas@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It's late. It was supposed to be April 1.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I believe that's their "offline" banner. It's just showing up as a mistake.

[–] venusenvy47@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the link. How many days does this event last?

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

If you want to join the movement to onboard more Lemmy users. We currently have a matrix chat that is coordinating on this. We have made excellently headway with the entire link on there, we need lots of help defending it though. We've made alliances with the Fuck Spez Coalition and Black Company but we still need more.

[–] Myrbolg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What does it do? Reuse the session Id from your browser session?

[–] roi@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 year ago

How are you still using Apollo Share your secrets

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago
