Let’s assume the top executives of Reddit are worried about Lemmy.
Lemmy is taking away users and attention. The ressources that Reddit is desperately attempting to sell to advertisers.
In a meeting, Steve Huffman, Jen Wong, Drew Vollero and Jim Squires decide to spend $1 million dollars on a secret project called Cobra.
Their goal is simple : to destroy Lemmy. Apart from the top management, no Reddit employee is aware of project Cobra, because it must not leak in the media.
How could they actually sabotage Lemmy?
They already blocked the lemmy subreddit. Pretty sure they’re already doing anything that they can get away with.
All the need to do is go back to 2010 Reddit when it was focused in content aggregation and had open API access.
I mean, all they gotta do is make a rule stating that talking about any alternative platforms is against TOS, so probably just that, assuming they can actually enforce it.
Otherwise, all they’d probably need to do is co-opt one of the morbidly obese, chronically online, single digit IQ power mods on there. In other words, any mod on that platform will do. All that bootlicker has to do is ban any and all free speech about Lemmy, as long as it’s positive.
Honestly, they should focus on actively moderating their content. I just deleted that app again, its full of ai generated content, full of agitprop, bots commenting walls and walls of engagement, everything and anything is an occasion for culture war bullshit…
Its insane how much the product has degraded, its like one good post for 20 scrolled down, and like half of them are reposts of the same goddamn content from months ago.
I think we should cherish lemmy, and hope to hell that it doesnt become that.
Sorting by new for me on any of the bigger subreddits shows me there being only a few posts a day yet each post will have insane amounts of botted responses. Only thing keeping me on there are the local subreddits and r/standupcomedy. Even r/news sucks there. 5.8 million subscribers but 7 posts within 24 hours (that are at least visible). How would there be almost no discussion when there’s more than a small country of people allegedly viewing this
my motiviation for using lemmy isn’t that I like lemmy, it’s that I hate reddit. so yeah, go for it spaz, i’ll just use the next clone.
Those snoo avatars for the execs look like the most soulless looking art styles possible, sort of like how Chuck E Cheese got rebranded. Pretty gross.
I wonder why gaysian man has no avatar?
They make a post asking Lemmy users a hypothetical question as to how they would go about doing it
Which one killed Aaron?
man I miss the open internet; these walled gardens suck ass
The only one that really pisses me off is Discord. I bet there’s TBs of valuable hype-specific tech support in there that will never be findable via search engines
I’d wager it’ll be used to train some AI or something of that nature…
His eyes look so weird in this pic.
They could undo some of the enshittification that Reddit has undergone over the past few years.
The people can’t climb back up their shit slide out of their shithole.
Yes, but stock market.
They could create 6 accounts that post nothing but old memes all day every day
wait
Those “avatars” reek of the metaverse.
I swear it’s where the idea came from.

Wasn’t the lemmy sub recently banned?
The countdown is on. How long until banned?
Step one, appoint a Cobra Commander.
Also appoint a rural SE Asian snake handler, the kind that performs for tourists, as their CFO.
Yes, but I think Lemmy is too busy hurting itself to really notice.
I doubt they give a shit. As much as I wish there was an alternative, Lemmy is inferior in almost every way still. Started off as a noble endeavor but now it’s just full not only users that are bots but entire instances that are just spam bots.
What? What instances?
