Comment on Advertising Lemmy on r/place
AnonTwo@kbin.social 1 year agoAgain, there's a very good chance the mods will delete it, and part of the whole point is to not bring them back traffic. Because that's the point of the r/places event.
So I really don't think it's actually better than doing nothing.

How does a 0.02% increase in traffic for one week benefit reddit? Are you familiar with their metrics and how investors judge their performance? Until you can support your baseless assertion that Lemmings using reddit will notably alter their overall activity, your argument is DOA.
btw I have to select English to respond to your comments

I see no way to change that from kbin
It's .02% on top of people who didn't leave, and again: For something that will probably be mod-swept.
Why are you pushing so hard to make people go back for that?
Like there's various ways you can take those same numbers and put them against the attempt, but the biggest factor is just the fact that Reddit already moderates against threads. So of course they will moderate against lemmy.

That’s precisely why it’s so mind bogglingly insignificant.
I’m not pushing hard for people to go back, you’re pushing for people to not go back. I never told you that you should go back, it’s absolutely fine that you don’t.
You’re the one who started this thread by saying it’s a bad idea for people to go back. I explained why the traffic is insignificant, so it’s not a bad idea. Im not pushing for anyone to do anything they don’t want to, I’m simply pointing out that it’s possible to go back and help Lemmy and hurt Reddit.
This nonsense take around here that we can never visit reddit is ironically the best possible strategy to slow the growth of Lemmy, because the vast majority of people who would be interested in Lemmy are on reddit.
That’s all I got for you, I’ll see you around.
