Comment on Join fediverser.network, make it easy to bring Australian redditors to the Fediverse?
Ilandar@aussie.zone 1 month agoThere are decent people who want out, but don’t know where to or how.
What has changed since last year that would make those people leave now? reddit’s AI policies? There was a massive migration with tons of coverage and assistance not long ago and most people chose to stick with reddit. Even those who migrated over last year left in droves after just a month or two. This idea that there’s a renewed push to get off the platform doesn’t really make sense to me. On the other hand, maybe that’s an argument in favour of services that make transitioning easier. I doubt we will get an influx of losers again so why not help a small number of people and see where it leads?

Lemmy is difficult. So much more than reddit… It could be like Linux. Something you try again and again and eventually get the hand of it or accept it. I spend many years going back and forth between using Linux and not using it at all until I got completely rid of Windows. And I do not regret it at all!
But it wouldn’t have happened if people stopped trying to make Linux’s transition easier. I don’t believe I’m harmful to the Linux community. It could be that it would be the same for people on reddit. I hated being on windows, but I still kept using it until the alternative seemed viable to me.
Of course I could be wrong and the community destroyed. But then… a new community elsewhere? I’m an old man on the internet, I’ve seen this happening a lot. Filters after filters after filters and some times the end result is perfect.
