My fantasies of Fediverse starships aside, let’s be honest. Neither of us have any idea what it would do, as it’s never been done before. And, at least for me, it would be fun to do, even if we don’t need to do it.

I don’t really see it as stooping to their level. After all I’m not suggesting we just go scrawl “fuck Spez” all over the place - we’re already doing that enough here. But sticking up Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon logos would be a positive organic social media campaign meant to improve the lives of its viewers - and unlike most advertisements, entirely driven by the desire to help others looking for free non-corporate alternatives.

This certainly seems better than any campaign Meta, Twitter, or Reddit could come up with, so I’d say we would be showing them that we’re better by being better.
