    Same. Imgur had a bad reputation for years but I didn’t know why. 404 explains that it has the same fate as reddit. Nothing will change then. Users will complain a lot but not move to another site.

    To keep with the reddit comparison, there were a lot of bad events that should have triggered a massive migration, but it didn’t happen. People stayed on reddit and they still complain without doing anything about it.

      But imagine having to choose a server from which to access the fediverse! This is just too complicated!

        Tbf that’s a big deal for Mastodon aka Fediverse, not so much on the Threadiverse with K/Mbin, Lemmy, or PieFed.

        And the tools that exist to help are laughably bad - the last time I tried the auto-selector website it chose for me hexbear.net, and I noticed Lemmy.ml was prominently displayed up high in their listing (surely the Windows-using centrists and conservatives on Reddit will have no problems joining that extremist leftist instance of FOSS enthusiasts… r-r-right?!).
