Reddit has decided to run another edition of r/place in mid July for some unimaginable reason.

It seems to me that it would be stupid to not at least attempt to advertise for Lemmy given the perfect opportunity. Many have expressed concerns about giving reddit more traffic, but a few thousand users is less than a rounding error to reddit. However, getting a few thousand more redditors to move to Lemmy would be great for us.

Hopefully I can get a few sh.itheads to help in this noble endeavor. If not, at least I tried.

    I mean admins will just delete it like every other time someone they don’t like attempts to participate in r/place

      Then they’ll point out how many people returned to participate. It won’t just be a wasted effort, it will actively help them.

        This. They’ll permaban you for nothing, overwrite everything that doesn’t look good to advertisers, and report you as a new user on the platform.
