      The best ad I saw for Reddit (back before the grand Digg migration) was one day, everyone agreed to stop posting direct links to articles and instead post the links to the Reddit discussions for said articles.

      Suddenly, one day, the entire Digg feed was links to Reddit.

      We should do the same thing (on say 8/1) to give time for the different federated instances to get accustomed to the higher traffic, more activity on the feed, and more people to welcome the future Reddit refuges, just like Redditors once welcomed us during the Digg 4.0 exodus.

        It would be funny and I’d love to see it but you KNOW spez and his butthurt bootlicking simps are petty enough to block/ban any link that goes to any address that’s associated with a Lemmy instance AND instantly “permanently suspend” any account that participates.

        Reddit admins even ejected their favorite agitator powermod, u/awkwardthepanda, for posting a John Oliver picture.

        They are truly prepared to burn every bridge.

        But maybe that’s the point. Maybe they should be FORCED to burn every bridge and annihilate themselves in the inferno.

        • Tired of ads like this? Try Lemmy!
        • If you were federated, you’d be home now.
        • Reddit wants to show you ads.
        • Consume. Or federate.

          Hmm. So how about: “Tired of ads? Reddit wants to show them to you. Come to Lemmy, we are friendly and you are welcome!” I am willing to commit 100 euro if anyone can make that happen.
