  And based on everyone’s excitement to participate seems like their plan is working.

    Agreed… Feels like everyone is falling for this hook, line, and sinker.

    The goal is to get people back on Reddit, doesn’t matter what you’re doing. For how many people are still on Reddit complaining, it clearly doesn’t matter that much to people.

      99.999% of people never left reddit in the first place… this is our chance to get some of those people that either never heard about Lemmy or were discouraged by the complexity of the while thing the first time around, but might be primed to make the leap now

        Yeah, Nah. Fuck the joint. Haven’t logged in since the purge.

        Are we sure about that? Many people exclusively used third party apps and wouldn’t use it otherwise

    I think they made the bet that they will earn more from boosting the monthly active user numbers than they would lose from the bad image drawn by Lemmy trolls, and I’m not sure the outcome is obvious.

      The outcome is obvious. Admins will remove anything they don’t want people to see and they’ll have accomplished their goal of pumping their engagement numbers.

  Which raises the question: if the point is to raise the number of active users for July, what do they plan on doing for August? Like, a slow descent from June to July to August wouldn’t look great to a potential investor, but surely a steady increase to July followed by a sheer cliffface down to August would look even worse right??

    Launch their IPO? Get the capital while the numbers are hot?
