y’all need to touch grass
What better way to show how much you don’t care about Reddit than to spend all your time talking about it?
Fr. I thought we would have gotten this out of our system by now.
I dunno. I half agree, but I also think there’s value in continuing to promote Lemmy. I don’t want all of Reddit here, but I wouldn’t say no to a few more exodus booms of users here.
Some people are stompers, some are walkers
And some are wankers.
We’re handling this breakup about as well as a woman faking a pregnancy.
If people didn’t care about reddit then why would they be upset that it’s fucking everyone over? A lot of people, myself included, would still be there if Spez wasn’t a sack of shit

Perhaps it’s controversial, but I actually disagree. I think the fediverse protocol (ActivityPub) would be enriched by even some of the scum and the toxic people switching over.
Half the appeal of decentralization is different servers can cater to different demographics (at least that’s the goal as the project matures). While we both agree that we’d like our content to not be adulterated with garbage, having some unsavory people here will help us build the tools to deal with them effectively.
And at the end of the day, I have my suspicions that sometimes social media platforms with a profit motive may amplify the ‘controversial’ simply as a way to drive engagement. ActivityPub doesn’t do that, so those people might have less influence. Heck, is it too much to think that the environment change to Lemmy may snap some of them into healthier social habits (a stretch for sure, but I’m hopelessly optimistic).
Can we not be pissed about the main site we used for entertainment and news telling us to fuck off after ten years of normalcy?
Carry your ass to Squabbles or some shit. This ‘touch grass’ comment is is as original as the ‘fuck around find out’ shit that’s played out.
We only touch Spez
Some fetishes are best kept hidden.
Yes
Isn’t getting a bunch of people to sign in to participate in r/Place exactly Reddits goal?
“Oh no! Our engagement is up right when we’re prepping for an IPO.”
Yes, but also ‘bringing back a classic’ and having it wash away the controversy would also suit Reddit’s goal. I assume they plan to spin it favorably in any case.
I personally think the better plan is to shift focus back to where it should be - the people. Making Reddit look the fool in the court of public opinion matters more to me than Reddit’s shareholders, present or future.
They won’t look the fool, anyone that matters will be shown an edited version of place with no protests and a chart showing fantastic engagement numbers that the protests caused. Visiting that site is just helping Steve’s IPO and we shouldn’t be doing that
Stop. Giving. Reddit. Traffic.
Would you fucking stop please?
I’m never logging into Reddit again.
Cool, my whole feed is from pineapplelover.
Aaaaand blocked.
I tried to get the ball rolling. I don’t get much out of this. This is just to get more users for Lemmy
I’m out of the loop, what’s the deal?
Congrats.
You’re about to be the first person I block on lemmy.
Cool?
GO BABY GO
ITT: Party Poopers.
Seriously.
Who gives a rat’s ass if Reddit’s DAUs are 0.01% higher than they would be otherwise due our posting Lemmy links on r/place, if, in the longer term, we draw more users away from them.
And it’s just stupid fun. So your Lemmy feed gets spammed for a couple days, who cares?
Looks like that space was instantly reclaimed. There’s too many people here that are determined to not participate, I don’t see lemmy getting any space
Nah we’re making headway!

Update
Seriously, you people are like that kid that won’t stop talking about how much he doesn’t care about his ex girlfriend.
Hint: everyone knows he’s obsessed with her.
