I think that's a portion but I know a few people that just take the path of least resistance. Right now, that is absolutely not the fediverse. In a few months with all the apps already in development, it might be a better experience with better content.

Your first sentence I agree with. Your second sentence I don't agree with. It's still early with the reddit exodus - things have been escalating incredibly fast and most people don't even know much about it yet, or are still processing what's happening.

Reddit was a big part of our lives for many people and it's not easy to let go. I was so deeply offended by what happened that I let go quickly even though it hurt me. But people who already used the official app? For them, it's a difficult conversation at best. But I'd say it is still early days.

Idk about that. Third party apps have not yet been sunsetted, so I'd imagine there are some people who are waiting until the very end to make the switch. That was my original plan for the two weeks after the blackout. Ended up jumping ship early because of how it all played out, but I'm sure there are some holdouts who plan to leave once their app dies.

Yeah, that's exactly how I felt when I left Facebook, too. When my brother eventually also left it was so hard not to say "I told you so"- but I didn't, and of course he never admitted that I was right all along. It's good that I've matured enough that simply knowing it is enough.

Most of the comments on the r/Piracy "sexy pirate John Oliver" posts are just Reddit bootlickers complaining about the protests (idk about other subs)
