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.

There's a QR code on r/place that links here and it seems some of the pixels are suddenly changing without any users attached to those changes -- unlike everywhere else

Yeah the admins are definitely fucking around with it. But why would anyone think trying to make a QR code on r/place is a good idea?

[–] mrpants@sh.itjust.works 64 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can make them very robust at error correction. Arguably more so than text.

Well that's impressive. TIL

[–] tinnedtime@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s amazing that those images in the center of a QR code aren’t actually a proper feature but relies on the error correction to deal with the center being covered up

[–] kresten@feddit.dk 3 points 1 year ago

It's so awesome

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I think it's a great idea!

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

They did the same thing with the anti-spez messages and images. Theres another post here showing them scramble the French guillotine

And put a code 128 version in just for kicks

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Should pivot to a camouflage qr code that looks like something else

[–] MBM@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If it's not something random people come across easily, doesn't that defeat the point?

[–] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Previous place events had this sort of thing happen. Pixels without a user credited are admin pixels.

[–] Brokensilence410@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Holy shit, I saw Earthlings years ago and shits still fucked up. The movie the QR code sends you to is not for the faint of heart

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Why do people still care about this shit?

[–] the_brownie@lemm.ee 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why do people care that people care?

I am interested in hearing what happens at reddit because it affects how likely people are to leave, and where they might go if they do leave.

[–] Graphine@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

They're not going to just up and leave like so many are hoping for. The decline of Reddit will be gradual.

Millions of fucking users aren't going to just leave all at once.

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll try to give you a good faith answer. Because this is a fun social experiment that has taken place for years. The results are skewed if it is tampered with.

[–] BobDole4Prez@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They need something to hate and hold on to. Bob Dole

Imagine walking into the cafe, just to complain about the amount of coffee being present...
