I'm thinking about hosting some kind of event to help drive participation in the community.

Some ideas we could do:

  • Weekly anime rewatch
    • A classic staple in anime communities, everyone gets together and agrees on a show to watch weekly, and we have a thread discussing it. This is the most likely candidate as of now because of its simplicity and wide audience reach.
  • Beehaw Sings?
    • Probably not this one, but I always have fun with these. I doubt the community is big enough to sustain this currently.
  • Art collaboration of some kind?
    • Also probably not, but if the majority of our userbase just coincidentally happens to be artists this would be fun. Slightly more plausible than Beehaw Sings because there are many mediums of art.

If you are interested in participating in some kind of event, please comment! This is also doubling as a "are people actually interested in this" post.

If you have any ideas for more types of events we could do, please share them! I'll add the ones I could feasibly run to the list.

far right group advocates for website that caters to far right groups

not even remotely a surprise to me, beyond I guess the fact that the taliban would have said anything at all about it

The regret rate for knee surgery is higher than the regret rate for GRS. Its always just been a transphobic talking point they don't actually believe in used as a cudgel to restrict our rights.

When did it stop being the super smash bros subspace fanfiction?

Yeah, we shapeshift really really slowly!

I personally would like a game development subr- community, but it might be too niche to bother with. I know we have a c/programming, but that's for people a lot smarter than me, my game dev process is more of a "alls i have is a hammer and therefore everything is nails" type of deal and I personally find that most of the self taught indie devs are kinda on my wavelength.

The other part about warning employees not to wear Reddit gear in public for fear of violence was meant for the press and for the uninformed, to try to garner sympathy and paint the protestors as bad actors.

Glad people aren't blind to this obvious ploy. When LGBT violence is at an all time high I don't think you need to be worried about wearing a reddit shirt.

I came here to get mad but comic sans monospaced looks really good. I'm impressed. I might switch my IDE to this.

This is objectively a good thing, but I can't help but worry that this'll be the new target of bomb threats with the way the political climate down there is right now.

Stay safe, stay strong, never forget pride was a riot.

This is so deeply pathetic on the part of reddit tbh. CEO's gotta power grab i guess.

No matter how many developers you get, you're never going to have a good product if the guy calling the shots won't allow it. I'm confident that the developers working on Reddit probably know damn well that their product is trash and there's nothing they can do about it because their job isn't "make a good site" its "do what your boss tells you to do"

Someone on the fediverse (might be here?) asked "Do you want Lemmy to succeed or do you just want reddit to burn?"

I've landed on "both, for independant reasons." Its been high time reddit's corporate greed gets checked, and what a better way to go than an icarus flight?
