Why does the Reddit community on Lemmy get that big pink banner (which I've redacted) advertising the Barbie movie?

It's the first advertising I've seen on Lemmy, and for my eyeballs it's not a welcome intrusion.

Jeez, I hope Lemmy and the fediverse will be powered by enthusiasm and donations, not by advertising.

I just hope it's the same banner in 5 years. The longer it stays the funnier it is.

Thanks for 'splaining it. I shall toss no more rocks at Lemmy's windows.

This link doesn't seem to be working for me :/

Screenshot of Lemmy post asking for banner image submissions for the Reddit community on Lemmy. Top comment apparently by a moderator contains the following text followed by an image of a poster for the Barbie movie

"In addition, we have received this image submission earlier today from an anonymous member of our community, who also offered the c/reddit moderation team, and I quote, "one Barbie-llion dollars", to set it as the community banner. We’re not sure what to make of this"

Probably because of @margotrobbie@lemmy.world

It wasn't me, you can't prove it was me, because I was out promoting "Barbie"... Somewhere else.

I should probably be excited about talking to "Margot Robbie", but I'm just happy I managed to tag someone correctly on the first try!

I was scrolling only to see if someone would Beetlejuice the account!

:)

I think the logo and the banner is funny, it really represents what reddit has become very well.

Well, everyone is leaving Reddit because Reddit is making a bunch of changes for advertisers. Sooooo….
