We need to put a giant “join Lemmy” sign and /or a giant “API” sign to piss them off
I'm definitely going to be helping out with a join lemmy banner somewhere
This is exactly what they want. You'll give them clicks and anything they don't like will be removed.
Hard to imagine that the clicks will make a difference, they have hundreds of millions of users. If we give them 1% more clicks and grow Lemmy by 100%, that's a worthwhile trade-off.
You really think they want advertisements for "the new Reddit" all over their IPO showcase project?
There will 100% be mod overreach, but I'm guessing/hoping it will be more focused on removing people making a big API and fuck u/spez. Sure, those few of us working on maintaining it will add some clicks but it's a drop in the ocean to them. Its a public place (pun unintended) seen by a great many people. The benefit to us will be greater than to reddit.
Someone should create a community on Lemmy to coordinate
!place_join_lemmy@lemmy.world
That would involve interacting with Reddit. No thank you.
This will give Lemmy a huge boost just like last year with r/F***Cars
You can write duck on the internet.
I just made a community for it!

I'm with ya there. As much as I'm done with Reddit... the thought of spitting in Reddit's face after what they've done to spite everyone else in the quest for money, is tantalizing.
