Hopefully users who signed up last year are coming back to use their accounts.

Maybe because they're tired of ads on reddit?

Should we put together a collection and and buy an ad campaign on Reddit?

I can see it now:

"Ads suck. We're ad-free forever. Join Lemmy."

and

"He'll never get us. Join Lemmy." or "Don't let him get you. Join Lemmy"

I wouldn't put it passed r*ddit to accept the transaction then only push them to some group that makes them look bad so if that group leaves they can claim they successfully cleaned up their platform.
