Why the fuck did they even remotely think this would be a good idea anyway? There is literally 0 good will towards reddit right now and for good reason.
I'm on Lemmy now, so actually it was a brilliant idea
I just checked and my account on lemmy is 3 years old, I was waiting for all of you. At moments lemmy looked like it will take of by it self, but last few months was pretty quiet. I hope this is the push this community needs to succeed.
Reddit got too big for my taste since digg joined in, I don't think this will kill it ( they have the data how many people is using it outiside official apps), but let's make space out of it.
All it took was for a few power users, aka content thieves, someone like MrBabyMan who's spent all their conscious energy and time submitting entertaining content from other less user friendly platforms, to convince a majority of users on the internet to pay attention to reddit more.
Simply getting more content, regardless of its quality or dubious origin, only as long as it is interesting or entertaining, will draw more users here. This is probably not what people want, but that's what it will take for Lemmy to take off.
Those memes look organic and sustainably sourced, delightful!
You're right, that's absolutely what I don't want
