Meaningless as long as they continue to use the site/app and give him ad revenue.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Publications like these lower reddit’s future valuations though. I’m not sure whether a two-day uptick in users is worth that. My guess would be that it’s not.
This is what I see as the true value of these "protest" messages above just "more user engagement" since it seems like more eyes on negative press does more damage than the plus of "a few more users interacted with our site for a few days"
Agreed. People keep saying that investors can be bamboozled by numbers of any kind, because they are not familiar with Reddit, because they don’t understand the technology, etc etc, but investors do know how to read, and a lot of them also know how to read the room. They might be rich scumbags who don’t understand the internet, but I am willing to bet that a lot of people who might be interested in buying Reddit understand people, and therefore, understand that you can’t run a business that defines itself as an online community when you have pissed off a whole lot of the people who make up that community.

And I wish they did. With all the „fuck spez“ and 3rd party app grief, people do surprisingly little to improve the current situation and link to Reddit alternatives.
Continued protests could drive other users away. If they think the content sucks or is annoying, they'll check the site less and that'll affect reddit.
Love that the French guillotine gets it's own mention 😂
Unfortunately, in the same breath as that mention is them saying erasing that is the work of users. There's enough evidence to suggest it's the admin's handiwork. Some people elsewhere mentioned that those "random" dots do not have a user attached to it.
The random noise appeard nearly instantly after the guillotine was completed, there is no way regular users caught on to that that fast.
Even if we give it the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe a group have waited until the guillotine have finished to strike back, it would have been traced back to actual users if they were indeed actual users.
It all disappeared within a few seconds after no fighting beforehand, and in the absence of an undiscovered 50k pro spez discord server that no one knows about, it's definitely admins. They've gotten much smarter though, using a ton of older accounts as bots rather than editing their personal accounts to have no cool down
Oh no, r?ddit admins being sneaky cheaters? How the hell could anyone have predicted that! Lol!
I've never really bothered with /r/place even in its earlier incarnations, but this just made glad I've never bothered with it, at all.
Place was super fun the first time around. Novel, short, interesting.
