With the advent of Reddit going public and selling user data an opportunity has arisen. I still consume Reddit from time to time and noticed in the threads about these things that a lot of displeased users were there. But when they ask what alternatives there are, lemmy is barely mentioned at all. So if you’re still on there, this is a chance to educate others about the fediverse and alternatives.

      If successful, a Lemmy ad campaign would cost Reddit far more than it would give them.

      If we do, we should probably do it well. Otherwise the ads would just be annoying

        Also people could be misled into thinking it’s a “free speech” platform (and end up attracting the people we really don’t want), or end up thinking it’s “complicated”, both of which would not be desirable.
