Also not to be a Deborah P. Downington but whenever I see URLs advertised where I'm not expecting them, my first instinct is "Eww, spam" and very much not "I should go to that URL because it might be a good reddit alternative"

They're going to boost their stats with bots regardless of our participation.

I just don't care anymore.

I'm here and it's significantly less then when using reddit regularly.

I'm going to work on my garden.
