Totally not suspicious timing at all.

Also if you're willing to visit reddit, the comments under the post are great. They're not fooling anyone.

They cannot possibly think that this is a good idea.

Would be cool if r/place could be used to give some exposure to lemmy. Maybe something like a big "move 2 lemmy" text. But probably difficult to find and coordinate enough people.

What was r/place? Not familiar with it.

Giant public canvas. Once every ten minutes, each reddit user can select the color for any one pixel they want.

Thanks! I do remember that and was late to the last one. That was neat to see.

I look forward to people using it to encourage Rexit. People will add links to Lemmy servers, etc. It will be glorious.

The only thing they could bring back that would make me consider making an account is TheButton. By the way I was a 42s Blue Hitchhiker.

This is going to go about as well as gasoline to out a fire. Surprised they are not locking this to only users with premium subscriptions.

Wow this couldn't be any more transparent. Laziest way to get easy PR after the stream of terrible decisions they've made. Thankfully doesn't look like anyone's buying it.

Looking forward to watching the cat-and-mouse game of people writing "fuck /u/spez" and the admins deleting it. Gonna be a shitshow.

I hate how the people keep spamming "SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN" (I know what that means, I am German, also very funny and totally not overused ) below every single comment.

Maybe I'm OOTL on whatever announcement they made on ich_iel but this seems like they're meme-ing on the people that want to put stuff like "API" or "fuck u/spez" on the canvas and I do not see the positive in meme-ing on them since that's pretty much the only thing left to do.

I'm having fun with the Fediverse. I'm pretty sure Reddit doesn't care if everyone leaves. I still like reading news about them but I've not been back. If I accidentally click on someone's posted reddit link (happens a lot - trying to retrain!) I back out quick before it loads.

I have to say though, I'm going through Reddit withdrawal this week. I've also moved away from Twitter. Even though the Fediverse is great, it's still growing and the apps don't have everything I need. I've been grumpy and unsettled and 100% it's because my beautiful Reddit app and routine has gone away.

This is the whole reason I still haven't uninstalled Boost. It doesn't work anymore but it's still set to open as my default, so if I ever click by accident, I'm met with a blank screen before I remember.
