A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy)

www.reddit.com /r/technology/comments/1i6rp3o/decentralized_social_media_is_the_only/

I haven't seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

Was reading through the thread and holy shit I swear half the comments are anti fediverse propaganda.
I wonder how long till the post gets removed.
Edit: would it be immoral for me to mass bot the thread with AI powered pro fediverse propaganda?

  You can try, but you'll probably get flagged
  
  U would be surprised what u can do with an account list a proxy list and a tor connection.
  
  why not, ik a lot of ppl are upset with reddit rnow and they prob think lemmy isnt ready, I thought it was bad because of old preconceptions and I never heard about it on reddit, only after I got banned from reddit did I even see that lemmy still existed, had a userbase, and was running without issues now
  
  They also make you think lemmy is like voat or other right wing stuff when the user base here is more like reddit when it was good, far less controversial
  
  Welcome here, feel free if you have any questions!
  A few pointers

- Aside from what Blaze mentioned, that's also not really the kind of publicity that we want. Better to just respond to individual users and encourage them to try Lemmy out.
  
  We should really avoid antromorphizing non-humans. Call them bots, like most of them probably are.

  Some comments are suspiciously skeptical. If they were this skeptical before joining then they never would've joined Reddit lol. Someone just tried to tell me that the report button on Lemmy doesn't do anything.

  And people talking about bots too lol Reddit will literally repost a 1 year old post with identical title and copy-paste the top 100 comments from the original too, talk about bots! And they aren't labeled as bots! At least bots here are labeled and you can hide them all instantly.
  And then they ask for extreme details on how everything works and try to become a master at it before even signing up. Is that how they signed up for Reddit and Discord? I doubt it.
  No way these people were that closed-minded and stubborn when they were signing up for Reddit.
- they got me with the propoganda forsure, it seemed complicated was actually super simple, every comment will act like its so hard to swap over or signup when once you do look it up you immediately see why its better at its core
