Warning: Elon Musk now has Huffman bending the knee. Whitepeopletwitter, iselondeadyet and loads of other Elon critical subs have been banned or suspended.

Just a warning, Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech, it is compromised.

Any time Reddit makes a misstep, some fraction of the users will look for alternatives. Can we bring them to the fediverse? Are there coordinated actions we could take?

Seems overtly complex

Fair point. Take 2, now with your short text:

I think that it's good to explore multiple media to convey the same message.

Hope you won't mind me trying my hand on your proposition?

If that was not obvious, I must admit I have no practice of memes and I 'm no designer either. I just liked the idea to encourage users to give Lemmy a try, and I wanted to use flashy colors (I went for Reddit's orange, seemed appropriate to me) :p

You're more than welcome to ignore it, to trash it or to do whatever you want with it. The edited SVG file (made with Inkscape using 'DejaVu Serif' font) is available on my website.

PS I would have liked to propose a simpler version of the 'friendship' image but I would have needed the source image ;)

I don't mind it - I shared the SVG for this reason! And I really like what you did there, the text is shorter but it shows better the point of Lemmy ("owned by its users").

The flashy colours do work better too.

I've shared your take on the idea in the other thread

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That could work, definitely in memes communities.

Feel free to it as its own post on here, or on !growthefediverse@slrpnk.net (that name is really confusing)

I'll share it in the other comm to increase visibility. Thank you for the constructive criticism!

Just saw it, thanks!
