But you endorsed their actions by saying "Don't feel awkward about keeping a community alive" and that's why I directly argued with the point you were making.
I think it's fine for a single user to keep posting to their own/favorite Lemmy community even if it's small. That's the only point I'm trying to make with my post. Maybe I need to edit my post text to make this clearer?
I would leave the text and find a different image, because the image is Reddit and we fucking hate Reddit, it's kind of the reason this place still exists.
my reasoning is people might feel self conscious frequently posting to a community, but this screenshot shows that even big communities do it and still get lots of people together (bots too of course, but also a lot of people)
I think it’s completely fine. Honestly, I got the idea you were going for instantly, and a Reddit community - being generally way larger than fedi comms - is probably the best vehicle to drive it home.
Plus I don’t think it’s practical, nor useful, to turn Reddit into the place that shall not be named here. That would feel especially awkward with the outrage generated every time a mention of lemmy.world is taken down over there.
Speak for yourself. I reserve hate for people who do me or my loved ones actual harm.
For me, Reddit is rather like an ex- who went another way in life, but I acknowledge we had some good times. I wouldnt date them again, but I might see them walk by (on a search result) and admire their butt ...whilst being careful to avoid being drawn into the toxicity again.
The reddit CEO sold all of its users out to train AI on and is getting chummy with Right Wing billionaires in the USA. If you don't see the harm caused by a social media platform swinging right then you've got the wool on.
lol. I dont need you bringing the same toxicity here that I left there. piss off.
I'm literally gatekeeping the toxicity you left there out of here.
