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.
Wow, 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.
The 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)
edit2: TIL its the logo for KICK of course that explains everything
edit3: they're mostly back now 😎👍
It is still advertising for rdt. Why hype that?
Sadly this message is already being overwritten by bots
Edit: the message about 3rd party apps is also being overwritten
Luckily 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
Love that our text has anti-aliasing lol
Yeah, it also kinda helps against vandalism. I also helped design the Horalky wafer for Slovakia.
Yeah, 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.
I love how it's kind of anti-aliased with the gray pixels
I like it too, it's a genius detail tbh
Yeah, I had to use it for legibility at limited width. The font is DIN/Bahnschrift Condensed, used widely for signage in Europe.
Thanks! I tried to replicate the famous DIN (aka Bahnschrift) font. The anti-aliasing was neccessary to fit into such a cramped space while keeping a slick font. Some say that this is the first antialiased text on this year's Place - it's not: other examples include 東方 (Touhou) (where Bad Apple!! was), the "osu!" logo, the "Gotcha anything else?" meme, the entire Charizard card, parts of the Vista UI, the Olympia logo (main German flag above Starry Night) and one I also drew: the Horalky wafer. Antialiasing is worth it if the community is well coordinated and will help against vandalism - it is harder to change one letter into another. This is why we avoided amogusification of the
A.A big problem with the design is the
Jtouching the logo. I have removed the leftmost two pixels to fix it but copies of my template were left unpatched so IDK if I get to change it.
I'm using the script now thanks for sharing is it only for the join-lemmy message?
it's better to spend your time just not participating
Spez ist ein hurensohn!
I 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.
Everyone deserves to be able to find salvation from Reddit
Yeah you're right
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
but 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)
Gatekeeping lemmy lmao
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.
You can tell reddit sucks now cuz r/place doesn't have gay and trans rainbows shooting all over
Great work guys. Now let's keep lemmy on there
Hehehe, This is amazing!
Who fucks a pez?
I 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.
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.
Ah 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?
Just 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.
What’s correct accordind to you?
.org is correct
Oh yeah you're really sticking it to them by continuing to use their platform!
Thank you!
Cool!
Anyway, what were we saying?...
