“Lol no one is going to leave reddit.”
“I personally think trying to fragment a niche community like this is extremely detrimental to the fanbase.”
“I’m sure you and the other 1 person that will be on Lemmy is going to be so mad when no one posts there.”
“you want people to go to a bad Reddit competitor, to join the - what it’s called, a sublemmy? - that you’ve just set up and where you’ve reposted everybody else’s content?”
“I agree that lemmy is not the way forward, no argument there.”
“Like a lot of “us” won’t be on Twitter anymore and be on Mastodon instead?”
I understand that it’s frustrating, but I’d like to suggest that we be the bigger people about it.
For every user in the vocal minority saying those things, there are plenty of users who will see kbin and lemmy mentioned more and more, and get curious.
If we start getting a “leavers vs stayers” mentality over here, we might drive away those people who could grow our communities.
Be relentlessly positive about our new home, and we will thrive in the end.
