    Tell everyone about Lemmy and host an AMA here, maybe? Using Lemmy as a billboard for Reddit is kind of insulting.

      I agree with the sentiment, but this is also a silly demand. Of course they do their ama where they have the most reach, and possibly share the info in smaller places such as this.

        They can do whatever they want on Reddit, TBH. However, pointing Lemmy users to Reddit is a bad move for a number of ways.

        Using Lemmy as a place to shit out advertising for a site that gives zero fucks about selling data to Google kinda rubs me wrong, especially since an AMA is just thinly veiled marketing… for a privacy app.

        While “having the most reach” is a good argument for a few reasons, it doesn’t negate how Lemmy was used in this case.

          I loged in to my account for the first time in over a year, to ask them about starting their own Fediverse instances for public communications. Specifically Mastodon and Lemmy.
