With the advent of Reddit going public and selling user data an opportunity has arisen. I still consume Reddit from time to time and noticed in the threads about these things that a lot of displeased users were there. But when they ask what alternatives there are, lemmy is barely mentioned at all. So if you’re still on there, this is a chance to educate others about the fediverse and alternatives.
Can we buy ads on Reddit?
… not to say that I really want to give them money.
If successful, a Lemmy ad campaign would cost Reddit far more than it would give them.
Make a post, raise funds, its a lot easier than you think.
If we do, we should probably do it well. Otherwise the ads would just be annoying
Also people could be misled into thinking it’s a “free speech” platform (and end up attracting the people we really don’t want), or end up thinking it’s “complicated”, both of which would not be desirable.
