Please see https://sh.itjust.works/post/1429723 for more discussion about our ad.

The words "f*ck u/spez" have been spammed all over r/place. This shows that many people on Reddit is frustrated with u/spez's antics, but either don't know that there is an alternative platform or don't want to leave for an underpopulated community. I was thinking, maybe we should draw a Lemmy mascot along with "join-lemmy.org"? We could place our drawing over maybe 20 "fuck u/spez"es that there are already hundreds of? Or if fighting an angry mob trying to defend their "fuck u/spez" is too difficult, we could also wait for the canvas expansion which is very very likely happen in a couple of days.

My vision is that this will help the Fediverse grow. Currently, not much Redditors know what Lemmy is, even among the ones that are constantly voicing their complaints. Sure, it might increase Reddits engagement metrics in the short run, but in the long run, this will benefit Lemmy and eventually hurt Reddit.

If you have any design for our Lemmy ad, please do put it in the comments!

same. Pick coordinates and what to say. I've seen Kbin.com and lemm.ee suggested as short and to the point banners that could be more doable in the chaos of r/place
