Reddit has decided to run another edition of r/place in mid July for some unimaginable reason.

It seems to me that it would be stupid to not at least attempt to advertise for Lemmy given the perfect opportunity. Many have expressed concerns about giving reddit more traffic, but a few thousand users is less than a rounding error to reddit. However, getting a few thousand more redditors to move to Lemmy would be great for us.

Hopefully I can get a few sh.itheads to help in this noble endeavor. If not, at least I tried.

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. For one week. And realistically, it would be a miracle if even 10,000 of you fine folk participated in this plan.

I dislike the idea of deciding the cut ties with something and then staying there to shout into the indifferent void that is bots and angry neckbeards.

So you think we got all the worthwhile people off reddit in less than two months and there is only bots and angry neckbeards left?

That's a horrible take. There's plenty of people over there just like us, but we need to show them the light.
