Yes by helping Reddit

Or telling those on Reddit to join Lemmy.

Do you not know how marketing works?

The point is that it's being defended against. That's the whole point of this post. So your audience are people who are already entrenched against the fediverse, being faced with a Lemmy invasion. And they're the kinds of people who relish these Reddit activities in the first place.

Do you think engaging with them in this incredibly superficial way is going to suddenly change their minds?

Or do you maybe think it might instead reinforce their cognitive biases now that they've spent a day and a half "defending" r/place against the militant minority?

We are already here. Anyone left on Reddit isn't willing to stop engaging. There was a huge campaign to get everyone over here already and it worked, it's why I'm here. A tiny banner on a huge canvas looked at by only Reddit diehards won't change anything. Mho.
