Also, please no "tHiS iS eNgAgEmEnT fOr rEdDiT" comments. Would you rather have no such banner? As I'm not pushing anyone to become a long-term active user on Reddit, I don't see any benefit for the company from this. If you have a spare account, this may be a good cause to fire it up for a few hours.
For anyone concerned about traffic to reddit, the absolute best thing you can do is find ads next to "offensive" content and e-mail the CEOs and marketing departments of those companies saying you won't use those products due to their ad placement on reddit. Literally nothing else will hurt them faster.
111Wow, we were allowed a few pixels for a few minutes, granted by our corporate overlords whom valiantly watch over every pixel to ensure they get the maximum IPO value! Just kidding, the bots decided to make it another flag or osu image or some stupid shit.
84The message has been there since day 1 surprisingly they haven't tried censoring it yet.
edit: sorry should have fact checked it's being overwritten by shitstains with some W1 poster whatever thats supposed to be (bots of course)
35It is still advertising for rdt. Why hype that?

Nobody will come to lemmy if they don't know it exists so it's worth it even if it gives reddit so engagement
72Love that our text has anti-aliasing lol
56Yeah, it also kinda helps against vandalism: our lone 3x5
Ahas not been amogussed once AFAIK. I also helped design the Horalky wafer for Slovakia.2Yeah, I think we’re unique in that other than a few logos, Touhou, the Vista taskbar and the “Gotcha - anything else?” meme. Other than the Horalky bar (-660, -150, which I redesigned to include antialiasing), it’s likely the only manually antialiased text in the canvas. I imitated the DIN (aka Bahnschrift) Condensed font, used widely for signage in Europe, for legibility at limited width.

Sadly this message is already being overwritten by bots
Edit: the message about 3rd party apps is also being overwritten
43Luckily the group doing the message about third-party apps is very coordinated so they have so far been able to protect it for a few days now

I love how it's kind of anti-aliased with the gray pixels
38I like it too, it's a genius detail tbh
7Yeah, I had to use it for legibility at limited width. The font is DIN/Bahnschrift Condensed, used widely for signage in Europe.

Spez ist ein hurensohn!
19I'm using the script now thanks for sharing is it only for the join-lemmy message?
18it's better to spend your time just not participating

I'm just not interested in Reddit anymore. Haven't logged in since July 1st. Deleted the app and, I'm just lurking to see how this shitshow will end up. My 2 cents is that Reddit will gradually fall since a lot of the content creators, moderators and engaged people have left and a lot more will leave. It will take a lot of time but it will.
17Great work guys. Now let's keep lemmy on there
15You can tell reddit sucks now cuz r/place doesn't have gay and trans rainbows shooting all over
13Hehehe, This is amazing!
7I actually feel a little sad seeing the BaconReader logo there. I had been using it for so long, and for the last 4 or so years it was the only way I used Reddit.
When I signed out of BaconReader that was the only place I was signed in, and I was pretty sad when I uninstalled it. Seeing the logo there brought that emotion back.
6I honestly kinda don't want the general population of Reddit to join. I like that this place feels like pre-redesign Reddit.
The culture of the community massively started shifting around the time Alien Blue got bought out.
6Everyone deserves to be able to find salvation from Reddit
40Yeah you're right
10
eh maybe, I thought each server would have it's own little community culture unlike reddit. if you want to see less people and enjoy a more specific culture you could join a server akin to what u want, was hoping it'd be less one place than the many interterting places i was sold
13but we need lemmy to grow! I would say that the benefits on Lemmy growing outweighs a few members being "bad." (couldn't think of a better word)
3Gatekeeping lemmy lmao

Who fucks a pez?
6Just signed up because of the banner. However…its got “.org” at the end currently. I’ll commit to helping keep it correct then swear off Reddit.
5What’s correct accordind to you?
1.org is correct

Thank you!
2Oh yeah you're really sticking it to them by continuing to use their platform!
0Cool!
Anyway, what were we saying?...
-1About as effective a protest as buying a pack of Bud Lites to pour them down the drain. You really showed them!
-1Bad analogy.

Your engagement is more important to them than your message. So yeah, I’d rather not have it 🤷
Edit: pretty sure the very large social media company already expected people to create stuff like this before they opened r/place, and they decided it was worth it. So yeah I’m still gonna say that if they let this type of messaging happen it’s not gonna matter in the slightest. I don’t think they’re that stupid like y’all do.
-23Ah yes, the old "It's still engagement" angle.
Do you really think it would be a major addition to their views if even a whole major instance of lemmy joined? The bot accounts alone being used there would overshadow the number of lemmings that engage there. And that doesn't even count streamers with tens of thousands of minions. Even if 20,000 lemmings went there, it won't make a mark. A lot of people, shockingly, are still ignorant of what happened. Idk how that's even possible but there you go.
They. Will. Get. Their. Views. Regardless.
Might as well get something out of it.
Your engagement is more important to them than your message.
Not if your message would prevent them from using it for advertisers. They've been removing nipples, dicks, piss, guillotines, etc and people still put them there. How do you think advertisers will react to that when they don't want their brands associated with "unsavory" stuff?
