Any suggestions for improvement? Or you think messaging mods is just completely useless?
you need to personalise it for each person and appeal to their unique interests. They are people, not bots.
Yeah at the very minimum you should tell them which instance to use, don't make them choose
I would only message if it was a custom tailored message and you have a history in the sub (mods often check via RES/toolbox)
I think messaging mods is worse than useless. It is harassment that will make them actively not want to bother with lemmy.
Do you have a suggestion other than "do nothing"?
Make Lemmy a place worth hanging out and having a discussion rather than desperately trying to recreate the shit hole that is reddit?
People weren't "organizing" to convince users of digg to migrate to reddit For The Greater Good. It was instead obvious digg was a mess and people went to the better site.
And everyone acknowledges that mastodon is much healthier than lemmy (... damn that is a low bar). And that is because there aren't swarms of people constantly trying to convince kylie jenner that she should post on mastodon instead. Instead, there is very much "This shit isn't twitter. Twitter sucked long before dipshit bought it" and it is building its own identity.
Whereas... a lot of y'all feel like the ex that sends texts a year later about how you bought a new shirt or you lost weight. And I am sure a few of you are looking to pick up some strange to show those jerks at reddit that your new boyfriend has an even bigger dick and knows how to use it before tearfully calling in the morning about how you are still in love with him and want him to take you back.
I don't want that either. See my other comments.
There are a couple of principles to ensure an activity drive like this is successful:
I'm working on compiling guides and establishing a community to organize initiatives like this over at [email protected]. The project is in very early stages but the hope is to ensure your digital activism is actually effective.
All that said I would strongly recommend against this approach unless you can make a BIG push and that takes time to organize and a lot of one-on-one conversation.
That link is not working for me. https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]
Could be the federation bug between 0.18.5 and later versions. I was having trouble accessing from lemmy.world
Seems to be working alright
Yeah it's working now.
