Stop twisting my words. I didn’t say I don’t see the point of recruiting. The word “recruiting” is not seen in any of my comments. I said very specifically, that I don’t see the point of encouraging people away from Reddit by encouraging people to use Reddit. That is wholly different from “I just don’t see the point in recruiting.” I understand the need to recruit, I just find it completely illogical that you’re encouraging people to use Reddit. Even if it’s for a couple of days, and “for a good cause”.
You have people who were seriously addicted to Reddit, but left anyways. Now you’re encouraging them to go back.
Ahh yes, you should have led with that. I suspected that's what this whole conversation was really about, that people are scared to go back because they might get sucked back in. Which is relatively fair.
I've made many comments on reddit since I left, and every one of them was telling people to join Lemmy. I'm not a disciplined person and I was severely addicted to reddit, but I was never tempted to go back because the quality is so fucking bad compared to Lemmy.
But I get how some people might prefer to keep their distance. I'm sorry I misinterpreted your point in my last comment, I now see where you were coming from a bit more clearly.
This ☝️. Even the memes, which I thought would be a lot worse, surprised me a lot, like really high quality and by people that mostly know meme history.
Just high quality content all around. Not a lot of it, but high quality.
Indeed.
You really are the man, 0x4E4F
Well, I'm not a woman... thus the opposite has to be true 😂... though in this day and age, that could also not be entirely true as well, lol 😂.
Just kidding, nothing against LGBTQ+ folks 🖖 ☺️.

That's what I had in mind with my comment.
Lemmy is amazing
Damn 😳... that cat really is da man 😂.
I know what you mean, I was just kidding 😉.
And yeah, Lemmy is just... awesome ☺️.
