piece
I’m using Top 6 Hours since I’m trying to not use my phone that much, and when it gets boring I switch to Hot or New.
Sorting by New is particularly refreshing since the communitoes are smaller and it doesn’t feel as a depressing ocean of posts no one will interact with.
La “comodità” è di non dover stare dietro a resistenze che si bruciano, vetrini che si rompono e liquidi che finiscono. Da ex fumatore incallito di tabacco e attuale fumatore di sigaretta elettronica classica, oltre che uno spreco inenarrabile mi sembra anche una cosa assolutamente inutile e fine a sé stessa: paghi sta cosa tipo 8 euro per una sigaretta elettronica con nicotina bassissima che se sei un fumatore dopo una giornata devi buttarla. Ho l’impressione che il loro mercato non siano neanche gli ex fumatori, ma chi il tabacco non l’ha neanche mai toccato
I don’t quite get how a “collective art piece” could get “hijacked”. If it can be hijacked than it’s only collective and collaborative for the ones that Reddit likes.
Of course this is the only way they could present it, but as far as I’m concerned the cool thing about r/place, in principle, is that you can see the chaos of the world, with opposite views, opinions, goals, tastes, interests sharing the same space, the same place, and interacting with each other.
I’d much rather see swastikas alongside sickles and hammers, stickmen being murdered alongside unicorns, dirty jokes alongside the Mona Lisa, than this corporate PR stunt.
I think it also shows that the protests have been somehow successful. Sure, Reddit won’t fail, but if they decided to do another r/Place it’s only because they know how loved it is by the community and hope to make people forget about the disaster.

EDIT: yup it’s dwarf fortress
It kinda happened for me with Fallout New Vegas. I was maybe 11 and never played anything from the series. I spent my time killer hobo-ing my way through but I always felt like I was missing something, then I started reading negative opinions about it online and got influence by that, so I dropped it. After some time I played Fallout 3, liked and thought it was much better than New Vegas and decided to give NV another shot (I was at 12 or 13 by then). I loved it to the point where it is probably on the top of my emotional top 10. It got me into 50s/60s music, got me interested in politics and ethics, made me become a fan of science fiction and old school RPGs focused on story and a variety of approaches. Really a fantastic game
I’m Gen Z and when I was little my parents were (rightfully) very careful with how much time I spent on the internet. Even so, I saw from a distance the old internet, where forums were a thing and you could find lots of cool websites that people made for reasons that weren’t limited to promoting or selling something.
When I discovered Reddit it was like I could somehow experience that time, but for many the decline had already started.
I love interacting with people, asking and answering questions, discovering and making others discover new things, but I just can’t stand feeling like everything and everyone is trying to sell me something anymore.
Now that I’m here, I feel like this could be the place, at least for a while.
La loro strategia è quella dell’Embrace, extend, and extinguish (EEE).
È essenzialmente un cavallo di troia per uccidere la concorrenza mentre è ancora in fasce. Bisognerebbe non solo evitare questo Threads come la peste, ma anche sabotarlo attivamente nel nostro piccolo scoraggiando la gente dallo scaricarlo.
Chiaramente non si può vincere una guerra contro un gigante e il corporate web è una realtà che non farà che rafforzarsi in futuro, ma l’obbiettivo è quello di preservare e fare crescere spazi come questo per garantire a chiunque lo voglia un internet diverso
