    Actually it would be better if more people would start to do so, ignoring that it gets censored. If the whole thing ends with just an empty canvas would be way better than giving up now.

    Lies. Reddit on PlayStore was 3.8 around the API change announcement.

    It’s 3.0 today.

    So spez can eat my 🍆 as well.

    I think OP has a point…silence and no traffic would be a better weapon against Spez…he already knows we hate him.

      Silence from the small group that hates spez would be filled by the majority that don’t care.

      I don’t use Reddit anymore now that I’m happily on Lemmy, but I would be open to contributing to the vandalism of /r/place since it would make my displeasure visible to the news sites reporting on the event.

      People boycotting Reddit completely are a tiny minority compared to the total active userbase of Reddit, so stressing about engagement with the publicly editable canvas is probably a bit excessive, especially since it offers the opportunity to get the word out further

    If you go on Reddit and write “fuck Spez” you’re just contributing to their engagement numbers they’re using to sell Reddit. You’re playing right into their hands.

      I don’t know, I’m sure a potential investor would do a little bit more research than just look at total engagement numbers and that’s it.

        Yes but things like MAU will be among the most important ones.

      You are not wrong.

      I meant at least on the Play Store.

      I did spell it fuk to avoid triggering Google police. It’s a shame we can’t rate 0 stars, or petition for removal. Haha.
