They make a post asking Lemmy users a hypothetical question as to how they would go about doing it

They could create 6 accounts that post nothing but old memes all day every day

wait

They could undo some of the enshittification that Reddit has undergone over the past few years.

A few thoughts:

• Offer the folks running the largest instances a full-time, salaried position. Make them feel like kings/queens. (You will eventually fire them/try to destroy them.)

• Now Steve Huffman uploads the special folder on his desktop labeled PRIVATE GOONING MATERIAL and leaks to media that Lemmy is a haven of CP, so that eventually government gets involved and targets Lemmy as a left-wing radical organization allied with Antifa.

• Introduce a Reddit fediverse instance and aggressively federate with the remaining major instances while also encouraging the federation of Facebook, Google, etc...

In a meeting, Steve Huffman, Jen Wong, Drew Vollero and Jim Squires decide to spend $1 million dollars on a secret project called Cobra.

The goal is simple. Try to destroy Lemmy. Apart from the top management, no employee is aware of project Cobra, because it must not leak.

You are speaking hypothetically, correct? Otherwise, source?

Their best strategy would be to poison the content with bot accounts, spam, and morally tasteless voices. Sullying the public perception of the content and services would stigmatize users. Since servers are funded by users and other donors, corporate lobbying or DDoS attacking to make it more expensive to host servers would also be an underhanded strategy.

why do they have to turn everyone into these weird funko pops

Step one, appoint a Cobra Commander.

Wasn’t the lemmy sub recently banned?

Yes, but I think Lemmy is too busy hurting itself to really notice.

Nice try reddit execs!

Damn, the photographer did one hell of a job to not make Spez look like the creepy little pedophile he is.

Honestly, they should focus on actively moderating their content. I just deleted that app again, its full of ai generated content, full of agitprop, bots commenting walls and walls of engagement, everything and anything is an occasion for culture war bullshit...

Its insane how much the product has degraded, its like one good post for 20 scrolled down, and like half of them are reposts of the same goddamn content from months ago.

I think we should cherish lemmy, and hope to hell that it doesnt become that.

They already blocked the lemmy subreddit. Pretty sure they're already doing anything that they can get away with.

my motiviation for using lemmy isn't that I like lemmy, it's that I hate reddit. so yeah, go for it spaz, i'll just use the next clone.

Which one killed Aaron?
