xQc came and totally wiped us out. We have a lot of work in front of us and we are a bit too small a team to hold this space if someone decides to take it from us. I’m really proud of how well we’ve been able to advertise Lemmy and fuck things up with our allies in Fuck Spez and Black Company (doing the 3rd party apps protest). Help us to close out /r/place with our banner intact!
We are rebuilding from the g at the end of the url at 38,-25
Chat is at https://app.element.io/#/room/#lemmyplace:data.haus
side note, how in the hell is reddit infested with so many bots yet i cant get an alt that doesnt get instabanned for the life of me? the increasingly angry messages from the admins each time they swat a new one are funny and all, but i wouldnt mind an account to occasionally say something from. tried using VPN and it didnt seem to work. Note: am not a tech guy so probably missing something very obvious
Enough. This is getting ridiculous now. Look, I get why we’re doing this, but isn’t the engagement what Reddit wants?
Listen, for the last 2-3 months, I’ve only visited Reddit to participate in /r/RedditAlternatives. I’ve moved everything here. I want to make that happen for others too. I’m happy here.
I don’t even subscribe to this subreddit or any of the ones about other social media sites. I tend to downvote anything I do see about Reddit or Twitter, because I just don’t need to hear about them any more.
I’m driving very little traffic Reddit’s way, and the only time I do so is to hasten it’s demise. The most people that we ever had on the chat planning this banner was around 10 that I saw.
This is getting tons of press. I’m quite certain we drove more people here than we drove traffic there. It’s worth it IMO.
You lost me at listen
Good to get awareness out there, the more people who know about these federated alternatives the better, even if it means having to use Reddit (where there’s still a huge population of potential converts)
There seems to also be some confused people who want to move on, but who don’t know where to go. For those of us already here it’s obvious that kbin/Lemmy is the platform of the migration, but from the outside a lot of people are still considering centralized alternatives.
Having a join-lemmy banner in the middle of r/place with no other Reddit alternatives present should more or less settle the debate on where the move is going to, in a way that speaks directly to the relevant audience (those still on Reddit).
That’s what I’m saying! There’s literally NO BETTER ADVERTISEMENT for Lemmy than the literal middle of r/place (we held that position for days so it’s not just a blip on the timelapses, that will be posted later, either). The middle is the first thing most people will zoom at when looking at the end result.
There’s too many doomers in this thread, them saying “move on we lost” is the same as saying “climate is already fucked why bother”. I am NOT pro-Reddit but WHERE ELSE should we advertise a Reddit alternative?
So why are you participating in a reddit community on lemmy then?
No. This is becoming rediculous. Stopped being so obsessed with your ex.
The equivalent of being broken up with, then posting daily on Facebook about your ex and contacting all her friends to tell them he’s/she’s the bad one
