Apart from the fact we shouldn't bring them any traction, I'm not sure if that's the best way to advertise Lemmy. I mean, I think a big percentage of redditors have already heard of the threadiverse and they still choose to stay on Reddit for whatever reason. So a plain "join Lemmy" sign would probably seem like another annoying ad to them.
I think the best way to advertise the threadiverse is by sharing the content that's being created here and actually explaining/showing why it's a great platform to use. The more we do that and the more Reddit keeps pissing people off with their dumb updates and everything, the more people will end up checking the threadiverse out and hopefully joining it.
This was discussed a while ago; here's what Ernest said about it:
With additional tools for moderators, a system for taking over abandoned magazines will be created. I want to automate this, but it will take some time. I am in the process of finalizing the last formalities. I will soon post a status update.
I have to agree. I do think they were both in the wrong and were toxic for each other. However, the amount and severity of the hate Amber received is astonishing to me.
The internet portrayed her as the devil while making Johnny appear as the most innocent victim ever. I'm not going to lie, I was 100% on Johnny's side at first, until I realised no one bothered to share Amber's testimony. And when I looked more into it, I figured she was a victim as well.
Again, I don't think she's innocent but she definitely didn't deserve to be treated so harshly and Depp shouldn't have been praised so much
I personally think people "should" use the downvote feature on comments that are objectively false, are unrelated to the topic of discussion or on troll/harmful comments
I lurk on my country's subreddit once a day through libreddit or on browser with ads blocked. I used to do that for a couple other small subs but I don't bother doing it as much anymore, I just check what's posted there like 1-2 times a week at this point
I wouldn't call it a mass exodus, it's more like a slow and gradual exodus that has started and will keep on happening as Reddit will continue to burn itself down
there was this hotel we always used to go to with my family during vacation, nothing exceptional but it was pretty cool. Then one year, for whatever reason, our two rooms were full of worms, on the floor, walls, curtains..they were everywhere. I don't think we've ever went back after that year
yup, I also find myself lurking here a lot too. When I was on Reddit, I'd usually comment on a bunch of niche subreddits and avoid commenting on subs similar to the communities that are currently growing here on the fediverse haha. I'm trying to change that tho, I'd like to contribute as much as I can so this place can keep growing bigger
welcome! In case the fediverse seems confusing/weird to you now, I'm sure you'll get used to it pretty quickly, you'll figure out it doesn't differ from Reddit all that much :')
