Totally not suspicious timing at all.
Also if you’re willing to visit reddit, the comments under the post are great. They’re not fooling anyone.

If the “engagement” consists of people seeing advertisements for alternatives to Reddit and reasons why they should be trying them out, I’m fine with spez thinking he’s “won” somehow because a line briefly went up.
Let’s be real. /r/place is a good time. It’s going to keep people interested in Reddit and not the tiny corner that’s fighting with Reddit bootlickers to make a Lemmy space.
Did you read the comments on the thread announcing /r/place? It’s going to keep people interested in Reddit’s fuckups. Those are going to be plastered all over it.
I like Lemmy, it’s much more mellow and the discussions are much better. I’ve given up on Reddit personally. But sometimes people here have a crazy idea in their heads that Reddit is actually going to suffer and lose people and Lemmy is going to take them all in. I don’t think the majority of Reddit is going anywhere even with their fuckups
The majority doesn’t have to go anywhere. Just the most engaged people (the ones who will be visiting /r/place, for example) who provide the value that keeps the other ones visiting and viewing ads. Once they’re the only ones left the site will be basically a zombie.
It takes time for giants to fall. Digg is still around to this day, and Reddit will likely be around a decade from now too. It just won’t be the “front page of the Internet” any more.
