This isn't the worst time, it's the best time.
If you think like a capitalist, for their IPO it's a catcher to show how strong and big the community is. Investors would love this.
Because the Reddit hive mind will most likely use it as a form of protest against spez. I also agree that it's the best time, going to go get me my popcorn and enjoy the art
There's a great Lenin quote about it: "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them." If your goal is profit you will do anything for it, including letting the customers publicly shame you or your company.
That said, I imagine Spez being petty enough interfere with the protest.
What better way to create the image of a thriving userbase, than for your userbase to literally create the image.
Can we make a lemmy logo on it?
we have to do this
Yes but what sorts of images are going to coalesce, I wonder.
