I never bought coins or whatever, but I had inherited a bunch somehow. I jumped on reddit just now to find an old thread I'd saved and found this in my inbox:
Thought it was kind of funny considering I never once cared about coins in the first place. Just checked and apparently I have "13325 coins to spend." I'm just going to let them go unless someone has a more maliciously compliant suggestion.
I can't think of anything too maliciously compliant. Maybe give Reddit Gold to posts describing how to join Lemmy or something? Awards should boost visibility. It's at least a little ironic to use Reddit 's own awards to help people escape.
This is not a bad idea at all. I’ll do a search for “lemmy” and “kbin” at some point tomorrow and throw coins at any of the useful posts I find.
A suggestion I've seen is to use them to give platinum coins to people, because that gives them some time of Reddit Premium (platinum gives more than gold), which is the only thing you can do with them that will outlast the awards being phased out and it's the closest thing to using them for something that has monetary value.
Award a bunch of posts and memes making fun of r/spez
Reddit is a dumpster fire!
I know, right? And u/spez threw the match! I'm still in shock over how swiftly it just went from amazing to garbage. Fortunately, Kbin and the fediverse is already superior for me even if the community isn't as robust. The growth and enthusiasm is here.
