Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.

Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

Any time Reddit makes a misstep, some fraction of the users will look for alternatives. Can we bring them to the fediverse? Are there coordinated actions we could take?

    You could tell everyone on /r/Cleveland, and /r/ClevelandGuardians to come here.

    Yes, I DID really just hijack your attempt to advertise reddit people to come here, in an attempt to advertise to reddit people to come here.

    What? You never said it couldn’t be specific people on reddit! I miss my Cleveland people.

      Have you tried? Would probably help if you are an established member of the community

        I’m banned from reddit. Automod just randomly bsnned me after being there for 10 years.

      Well, I’m not sure how well I would be received, especially as I don’t have any prior engagement with that sub.

      I do think you are correct that focusing efforts on specific people and subreddits is probably the way to go. Assuming the 90-9-1 participation principle, if we can convince the 1% and the 9% switch over, the other 90% will follow.

        Oh, Cleveland is pretty accepting about new people. Cleveland is the Lemmy of cities. We have infrastructure to handle being waaaaaaaaay bigger, but 80% of the houses have been abandoned for decades. So if someone new buys a house, and moves in? Ohman, welcome to the neighborhood, buddy! You’re a Cleveland sports fan now! Our main exports are beer, chocolate, unwarrented optimism, and crippling heartbreak! By the way, you’re a Guardians fan now. Jose Rameriez has the key to the city, and every building in it. Don’t worry, he’s cool. He’s just warding off Tim Anderson from ever stepping foot in this city again…with his FISTS!

        See? These jokes would land so much harder if we moved all the Cleveland people here.

        eyebrows intensify

        You KNOW what he does…

        (I’ll stop now…no I won’t.)
