I mean. I’m going back and forth between Lemmy and kbin, but let’s not kid ourselves. We’re not at a Digg-level exodus yet. The, for lack of a better word, hardcore users are moving on, but the casual redditors aren’t showing signs of going anywhere.
Not saying it might not happen, but we’re not there yet IMO.
Let’s see what happens when the 3rd party apps die at the end of the month & moderation goes all to shit. That’s when things get real for more people.
I agree, switchover isn’t going to be instantaneous, but when trolls & fascists start taking over and the collective IQ there drops 30 points, the exodus will accelerate. People won’t go to Reddit for discussions when the threads there assume Youtube quality, and without that, it’s just another doomscrolling app.

The power users and enthusiasts go first to clear the path and kick the tires to make it easier for the others to come later.
