Most people aren’t even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It’s not that hard.

    Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It’s not that hard.

    No, it is that hard.

    1. You have hundreds/thousands of community members accustomed to a certain user experience that have to start that learning all over again when they move platforms.
    2. You have teams of moderators that have to learn a new set of tools for a new platform.
    3. Less content and inferior experience for everyone until there’s headway made on 1 & 2.

    Anyone whose worked on a team that had a management shakeup can appreciate this. Anyone who has a friend that refuses to migrate to windows 11 can appreciate this.

      The Windows comparison I don’t get.

      In my mind there’s a huge difference between picking the best version of an OS and picking a completely new OS, which is what lemmy/kbin would be in this analogy.

      I still use old.reddit version for the superior experience, if I need to use it on my computer - same as I’m using Windows 10, as this is the superior OS version in my mind.

      Lemmy would be more like switching to Linux
