    “People should go into smoking areas just to tell people to stop smoking.”

    People will find their way out once the decent non-smoker content dries out and Lemmy links become shared more.

      This is a terrible and lazy analogy. It is more like, you are in one bar and you go to a different bar to tell people about this new bar that you like. I get that you don’t want to tell Reddit people about it. But just say that instead of having a negative analogy to discourage other people from doing it.

        I am afraid if they all come it will ruin our space, but maybe my fears are unfounded and based on the horrible taste Reddit left. Honestly, I have been trying to warn people about surveillance in apps and media and how severe the issue is for 15 years now and they do not care. People just do not care about corporate takeovers, privacy, etc. We probably would not have luck with them. I tried to get all my friends on federated media and failed, but did manage to get one convinced to get something other that gmail.
