      Guess some people don’t like hearing the truth. Maybe if they post to peer tube instead they can get 5 views and maybe even a like.

      We have to be able to meet people where they are, wherever they might be.

        That’s assuming that they stumble on it. If all of those members know where to go, they will probably use an alternative platform. After all we all heard of a better option to redit and here we are

          But how many people actually left Reddit to go here versus how many are still there?

          Lemmy underestimate the vile power of network effect.

            some went back to lemmy after coming here. i think some LURK on reddit instead though, after they were forced out, or tried to create a new account. all the content is there.

          That’s a good point. It should really be a two-pronged approach. One is setting up and maintaining an alternative to the mainstream social media sites, while the other is out in the muck trying to inform people and let them know where to go.

      It isn’t that I object to people reluctantly using the big-tech social platforms, it’s that they seemingly do so enthusiastically.
