  Then they’re the same as the Reddit users who refuse to move. It’s not hard to move to a different Lemmy/PieFed instance, that’s our strength. You can export your account data and import it to your new instance so your subscriptions transfer.

    But your upvotes and comment history don’t.

      Sure but IDK that just doesn’t seem important. That’s the same issue we had switching from Reddit to Lemmy. My Reddit posts aren’t gone and neither are my programming.dev posts, I’m here on retrolemmy now and it’s fine. If I need to edit an old post then I’ll open programming.dev but that doesn’t bother me.

        IDK that just doesn’t seem important.

        I’m fine leaving my old account behind.

        Then we have different viewpoints. I’m very much NOT ok with leaving my old account behind.

        If AI hadn’t banned me on reddit, I’d be much happier over there. I’d have my old account, and all my post history going back 10 years. Which by this point would be more like 12 or 13 years.

        It’s not important to you, but it’s important to me. Just because youhave an opinion doesn’t make it “the right way”. Everyone can have different opinions, and thats ok.

        Literally 3 months after I got here, and started figuring out how the fediverse worked, I was calling for changes. Quite frankly, what I thought the fediverse was is a lot cooler than what it actually is.

        I can post a picture here from pixelfed, but it’s no different than posting a picture from imgur.

        So the account history is all I have to look back at.

      For some of us, that’s not a bad thing. I tend to burn my account and make a new one every year or two, just to minimize the accumulation of potential doxxing material.

      I also tend to swap things like my specific location when I talk about where I live. Pretty sure on just this one account I have comments saying I live in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. I’ll even change how I talk about my job. I work in live entertainment, but that’s a very broad category. I change details like how many seats my venue has, what my specific job is, (for instance, on this account I’m an audio technician), what my work history is like, what kinds of shows I tend to work, etc… All of them have grains of truth, (for instance, I have worked as an audio technician in the past, so I know what the job entails), but none are truly correct and all are red herrings in some way.

    People want access to the defederated instances, on lemmy.world.

      People also wanted API access on Reddit in 2023, and here we arz

        Notice how ‘here’ is no longer reddit

        Reddit refused access to API, and people left reddit.

        Lemmy.world is refusing access to the pirate instances.

        By your logic, people should leave Lemmy.
