To all the people saying "too late, I already switched": why bother commenting?
I think it's fine and healthy for the fediverse if people spread out across different servers, it distributes the hosting cost.
I don't see a problem with announcing they "moved and aren't coming back despite the reversal" on this particular thread, it appears relevant.
Why bother pointing out people commenting? I guess we're all a little confused.
To explore the human condition ๐ค
It's the same as the people leaving Reddit but still talking about it
To show what happens if you don't listen to the community before making changes, I'm guessing.
But they are not incentivized to grow numbers exponentially like shareholder funded companies. They make money from community involvement and value-added services. Instead, they removed these type of contents because they felt like those communities needed to reform their overall community personality. In the end, it is all a community effort to help one another. now that users have switched, there is less legal pressure, and the people who moved have helped make these other servers better. It was a win-win for us. I am grateful to all the people who made the move and participated in posting to their respective communities.
Also, this helps lessen the host cost on them. Lastly, a federated community is not the same as these mega corps.
My humble opinion is that the community can fuck off in matters like this. The random poster isn't risking life-destroying legal trouble like the people running the servers are.
Too late, already commented. And switched. ;)
Well, I did it too, and it is not worth making a whole comment about it because all of our reasons are predictable and this is the Fediverse and spreading is good.
Now, I'm a bit out of the loop with the server uptime and all, but maybe if things are better I can consider Lemmy.world my backup account again... because I don't really have one anymore.
