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.
It doesn’t matter because even if it ends up with the greatest fuck spez message ever it’s still engagement on the site and that’s what they’re looking for.
The last one was great for the fuck cars movement; this one easily has the potential to be similarly good for the threadiverse even despite any Reddit engagement it entails in the short run.
The biggest fuck you that can be sent is the thing staying completely empty
If the “engagement” consists of people seeing advertisements for alternatives to Reddit and reasons why they should be trying them out, I’m fine with spez thinking he’s “won” somehow because a line briefly went up.
Let’s be real. /r/place is a good time. It’s going to keep people interested in Reddit and not the tiny corner that’s fighting with Reddit bootlickers to make a Lemmy space.
Did you read the comments on the thread announcing /r/place? It’s going to keep people interested in Reddit’s fuckups. Those are going to be plastered all over it.
