  • The reluctance of redditors to move to lemmy always amazes me.

    Not surprisingly, there’s a lot of posts in a lot of subs about the recently announced changes. In every post the same pattern is repeated ad-nauseum:

    • “i hate reddit, it sucks here, I’ve always wanted to leave, I’m never coming back once this happens”
    • “maybe we should move the sub to lemmy so we won’t have this problem in future?”
    • “but what about all our data, the wiki & post history and such”
    • “but there’s no users on lemmy”
    • “but that would split the community!”

    This is the case even in the subs I would have thought would be really keen to jump ship, like /r/selfhosted

    I think this type of approach is the right idea though, a better ecosystem can only be good.
