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.
That’s precisely why it’s so mind bogglingly insignificant.
I’m not pushing hard for people to go back, you’re pushing for people to not go back. I never told you that you should go back, it’s absolutely fine that you don’t.
You’re the one who started this thread by saying it’s a bad idea for people to go back. I explained why the traffic is insignificant, so it’s not a bad idea. Im not pushing for anyone to do anything they don’t want to, I’m simply pointing out that it’s possible to go back and help Lemmy and hurt Reddit.
This nonsense take around here that we can never visit reddit is ironically the best possible strategy to slow the growth of Lemmy, because the vast majority of people who would be interested in Lemmy are currently on reddit.
That’s all I got for you, I’ll see you around.
