It's a shame promoting Lemmy isn't part of the blackout

It's been attempted in various spots, but either reddit itself removes the mentions or edits them out

Yeah the fact that they actually banned the kbinmigration subreddit is absolutely WILD to me. I made a comment on a post a couple of weeks ago now about how this wouldn't change anything, and a few people would leave like the last time they did something that made people upset, but most people would stay. After the ama and everything last week though I've completely changed my mind, I was wrong.

You weren't wrong. Reddit has over 400 million monthly users. A tiny percentage of that will move to Lemmy. Less than 1% this year is my guess.

That's a huge number to move to Lemmy, but to reddit it probably represents nothing much.

Is that really something that's been happening?

My comment just got downvoted, but it's still there (and has reactions of other migratees to lemmy, so not invisible).
