Tetris kind of has a long running title on this topic.

I dont even like tetris that much, but it has captured the attention of generation after generation.

It’s probably one of the only games you could open in almost any setting and have people wanting to play it.

I’m going to hold you responsible for defending them from criticism they need to face. You are creating a safe space for abusive ideologies to fester.

Despite this, shame is still a valid application of positive punishment to active participants of an abusive subgroup.

Go be the carrot to somebody who needs a philosophy 101 course to justify defending actively harmful forms of propoganda from criticism. I’m not your guy, I have my own objectives in this discourse.

Ultimately, none of this invalidates the observation of an ironic use of a victim complex.

I didn’t say anything about immunity to propaganda.

Feel free to address what I said, though. I’m mocking the ironic victim complex of abusive individuals.

its the world’s fault for me being a complete piece of shit

Lmao, the victim complex of the most abusive subgroup of men on the planet is hilarious.

Exactly, this is a huge marketing event for them. If the marketability of Reddit is shown to be “FUCK SPEZ FUCK SPEZ FUCK SPEZ”, that is going to cost them in terms of that white glove corporate cleanliness they crave to provide and profit off of.

The breakup analogy falls short for numerous reasons, primarily because we are talking about communities rather than individuals.

More like a divorce with kids involved than a simple breakup. Some people are happy to divorce and run from their kids, abandoning them to their ex, but some people want to keep as much of their family healthy and intact as possible, forcing them to go to court or other forms of confrontational discourse in order to achieve their goals.

Many of us come from communities that have been split and the only way to rebuild and regroup is by engaging the missing community members where they are.

I respect the mental health boundaries you need, but not all of us have that conflict* (trying to find a word that does not sound demeaning, I am not a wordist sorry).

For me, yes I’m upset that reddit is a burning shithole, but it weighs on my mind no more than leaving myspace, Icanhascheeseburgers, ragecomics, 4chan, Facebook, or any of the other numerous forums and social media sites I have split from.

So I respect your need to avoid it, but I do not believe this is the same for the majority of people who are interested in taking action.

Do you expect to see the site die in a week?

How far back do you think user engagement on r/place will stall reddit failing?

Do you think not using the canvas would cause more harm than their favorite event being covered in language shitting on the CEO and making the pretty canvas not marketable?

Personally, I strongly disagree if you do think so. Even if every Lemmy user drove 0 traffic to reddit, it would change very little of their day to day engagement.

It’s important in the long term to move away from reddit and reduce engagement of the site, but the cost benefit ratio of fucking up the marketability of r/place strongly outweighs the effect users would have engaging the site.
