@FixedFun I know what happened on r/place only because of Kbin and Lemmy. :D

[–] RickRussell_CA@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think about r/Place at all.

[–] atocci@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

I keep forgetting its going on until I open kbin again

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Same here. I didn’t even know what it was until I saw articles about it on kbin.

[–] FixedFun@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I wish all were the same lol if only everyone moved we could have a great site, not that I like big crowds, but Kbin and Lemmy run on community service for a lot of stuff so the more people, the more we could see this site grow in many ways

You beat me to it

I get the sentiment but I’ve also seen decent media coverage of it and I’m sure many folks googled what was happening as a result, especially since twitch was more formally involved this time. I know the German word for “son of a whore” surged in google searches so that’s something lol

Does it drive traffic? Yeah. Does it make Huffman seethe? He’s childish and thin skinned so probably lol

[–] MrTru@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Huffman wants people to forget, so the whole point of the protest is to remind everyone that he's a scumbag.

But... they don't think it be like it is.

Wonder if that's actually what affected the timing? The John Oliver protests were drying up perhaps? Losing protest traffic - so they reopened r/Place now in the hopes of getting folks to come back to reddit to protest one more time, on redrdit itself, while increasing traffic and ads revenues.
