Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.

    undefined> i’d appreciate it if you went over there

    Please don’t. At least not until the 15th if you must. Personally I’ll continue to avoid it.

      I don’t think it’s an issue if you’re using an adblocker and promoting a competitor.

        It is. We want their usage stats to show that users are objecting to their plans rather than just mods and app developers.

          If you manage to get at least one additional person off the platform, then it’s worth it.

          If you manage to get two, it’s very worth it.

          If you get none, then yes, you’ve wasted your time, but it’s not that hard to convince at least one person.

            It’s not about wasting time and it’s not about trying to get users to come over to Lemmy today or tomorrow.

            It’s about whether you contribute to the protest or not. If you log in to Reddit and start writing comments then you’ll be flagged as an active user for that day and will lessen the impact a small amount. If many did it as you’re suggesting we should then that will lessen the impact of the protest more.
