    they won’t

    i tried to move my 100k subscriber sub to kbin (i also offered two different chatrooms)

    6 came to kbin and people started attacking me for having the sub closed (one person even resorted to transphobia like jesus fucking christ) and being “political” and one person even made their own version of my subreddit

    moving is too much work (it’s actually not that much work, but since we now need two videos playing at the same time and can only watch those vids for 30 seconds, everything is “too much work”). that’s why people are still on facebook, twitter, instagram, and tiktok.

    i’m very glad there’s an acceptable amount of activity on the “threadiverse” right now… but i just don’t have hope that everyone will leave.

      I’m not sure what the skill issue is on that sub, but I, a moron, had no more trouble coming here than I did navigating reddit

      Those are either bootlickers or bots, who can safely be disregarded

      74% of reddit were ignorant assholes anyway, so no loss

      @okbin@kbin.social it’s ok, people will gradually move out as Reddit deteriorates. Eventually most interesting people will be elsewhere, the platform will still exist but it will be an empty shell.
      The important thing is for threadiverse to take flight and acquire a sustainable size, the rest will happen in time.

        nope. BPDmemes… which is just fucking sad because BPD is associated with identity issues including gender identity, so in some sense being transphobic can be ableist in that context as well.

        i’m letting it go, they were probably just really dysregulated (as is the nature of this illness). but i did ban them for all of pride month.

        however, my friend and i HAVE seen transphobia in the owl house community and we don’t understand??? there are literally multiple trans characters on the show like why would you be transphobic if you’re a fan you. walnut
