    Holy shit that was scary. I clicked the link without really looking and all of a sudden I was presented with a “promoted post” and I thought Lemmy had enshitified overnight.

    Thank fuck it was just reddit being reddit and me being unobservant.

      I thought Lemmy had enshitified overnight.

      Even if you saw a “promoted post”,

      1. If your app did it, other apps wouldn’t have it
      2. If your instance did it, all the other instances wouldn’t have it
      3. If the codebase added it, there would be a fork overnight

      The power is in the people’s hands on this one 🙏. Lemmy devs and admins know the best way to grow their site is to do what the users want
