MODERATORS
It will be a small percentage of Reddit. But even small percentage is way, way more than a few hundred. And the most active users (mods, post makers, etc.) are the most likely to move. The casuals who just scroll are the most likely to stay. It’s the former that make most of the content.
The question is if we'd even want the majority to migrate.
I personally migrated because I wanted to avoid the majority
I don’t. I want people who will take the extra time to add to the discussion. Most people aren’t going to want to acclimate to the fediverse which I think will filter out a lot of nonsense.
The majority of people in Reddit don't provide any value to conversation ~~of~~or information. We shouldn't really be sad that passive consumers don't follow the migration to Lemmy or more accurately to Fediverse.
I used reddit to get information and read news from active users and to engage in conversations within these topics.
People who won't follow us from Reddit, wouldn't have anything good to offer to this platform anyway so I don't think we should care to be honest.
Nothing of value was lost.
good, we needed a filter
