    I think what op means is: 1 - if you generate traffic on Reddit by going to place, use it to educate others about Lemmy. 2 - don’t generate extra traffic on Reddit, this traffic numbers will be used to show investors that Reddit does generate heavy traffic and advertisers like traffic. This will be used to inflate the value during the upcoming IPO this is exactly why they make Place, they knew it was going to be vandalized (and they’re censoring a lot of it) but by simply going there you’re actually doing what they want you to do. 3 - writing fuck u spez over and over 1 doesn’t educate users on The existence of Lemmy, instead it focuses on Spez and make him more known to others. It also generates inflated traffic for Reddit towards the IPO.

      This was my take.

      I’m watching from a distance but I’m not getting involved because Reddit want as much traffic right now as they can. They didn’t do this just for fun. They’re milking the bad publicity to get more publicity. Don’t fall for it
