      Can we not be pissed about the main site we used for entertainment and news telling us to fuck off after ten years of normalcy?

      Carry your ass to Squabbles or some shit. This ‘touch grass’ comment is is as original as the ‘fuck around find out’ shit that’s played out.

      What better way to show how much you don’t care about Reddit than to spend all your time talking about it?

      “Oh no! Our engagement is up right when we’re prepping for an IPO.”

      Yes, but also ‘bringing back a classic’ and having it wash away the controversy would also suit Reddit’s goal. I assume they plan to spin it favorably in any case.

      I personally think the better plan is to shift focus back to where it should be - the people. Making Reddit look the fool in the court of public opinion matters more to me than Reddit’s shareholders, present or future.

        They won’t look the fool, anyone that matters will be shown an edited version of place with no protests and a chart showing fantastic engagement numbers that the protests caused. Visiting that site is just helping Steve’s IPO and we shouldn’t be doing that

    Looks like that space was instantly reclaimed. There’s too many people here that are determined to not participate, I don’t see lemmy getting any space

      Seriously. Who gives a rat’s ass if Reddit’s DAUs are say 0.01% higher than they would be due to our participation there to post Lemmy links to place, if in the longer term, we draw more users away from them.

    Seriously, you people are like that kid that won’t stop talking about how much he doesn’t care about his ex girlfriend.

    Hint: everyone knows he’s obsessed with her.
