Exactly!
I mean the numbers are probably insignificant, but I want to stand my ground.
Comment on Advertising Lemmy on r/place
Enigma@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoExactly. There are redditors planning on protesting on r/place. There are discords dedicated to it. Fediverse users should not participate. Especially those who left because of the recent changes. All we’ll do is boost Reddits numbers.

On the other hand we could get a few more borderline leaving reddit users here… IDK, IMO it’s worth a shot.

Like I said, there are discords and redditors already doing this. One discord is doing 3PA icons, another was discussing between a QR code that links to Lemmy, or just the url. There are going to be tons of small “API” everywhere like the among us in the 2017 place, we’ll probably see large ones as well. Sending Lemmy users to reddit will do more harm than good.

Reddit has over 500 million monthly users. If we got 100,000 Lemmings to go over there, that would give them 0.02% more traffic. And realistically, it would be a miracle if even 10,000 of you fine folk participated in this plan.
I don’t know how many people will see it, I don’t know if they will eventually erase it, but either way, it’s better than doing nothing.

I pointed out other things that people are doing, things that involve lemmy. At the end of the day, everyone who is tired of Reddits bullshit has already left. No one is going to leave Reddit just because we put the url to lemmy on the canvas. I just honestly don’t see the point of encouraging people away from Reddit by telling them to get on Reddit, even if it’s just a couple days.

No it’s not. Everybody worth keeping has already moved to lemmy by now. The stragglers are the ones who cannot see the big picture and the anti blackout protests.
