Great that they're discussing it. Less great that people are still like "no one is ever going to move to Lemmy, so let's just ignore it and stay on the same or another centralized social media where we always are bound to someone else's whims". I posted a topic regarding anarchists staying on centralized platforms some months ago, and it still doesn't make sense to me that many, often marginalized groups, trust large corporations to be the place where they can organize. I realize the barriers to entry are lower, and that more people are on those sites (so that you can reach more), but it's still not logical at all in the end.

I hate to say this, but have you noticed how mentally lazy most people are? Using signal is easy. Bitwarden and randomized secure passwords is easy. I can’t get any of the normals in my life to make use of them. It’s too much mental labor to do something different. Something that isn’t forced on you by herd mentality and constant advertising spam.

I honestly think one of the reasons I love Lemmy is because the people that come here are the people mentally active enough to think outside of the cages mainstream social media builds for us.

we're all burnt out from life bending us over. I intended to sign up here for a couple months and onlu just got around to it.

thank you. I used kbin.social before it went down and only got around to getting back on the bandwagon.

Many of us were caught up in that trap as well:-(. There's Mbin if you want the same interface, but slrpnk.net is a perfectly fine instance and if you are happy with it there's no need at all to bother:-).
