hey! I went on reddit to invite people over here on a subreddit…
And asked if someone would be interested to create maintain a magazine/community that don’t exist here. I got shit over…
Thoughts?

    It’s also a bit bothersome if you’re there. The people who stay are probably aware of the alternatives, but also don’t feel like moving, so people going over and trying to get them to join Kbin/Lemmy are the equivalent of people asking you to join the Church on the street. Having the alternate community on the sidebar, or if the sub shuts down is fine, but probably not a good idea to shove things into people’s faces.

    You’re already aware that the Church exists, and the advertising is not going to make them want to join it any time soon. If anything quite the opposite, or it’ll make them want to cause trouble just out of spite.

      I mean, it’s arguably true that anything that makes Reddit more annoying to use is a good thing, regardless of if it helps any alternative.
