We are in a rehashed weekly askreddit topic to lump people together and collectively hate them, idk what you expect.

I don’t see how it would be possible to stop them to be honest.

I think there is a lot of hype going on here about migrations tbh. Lemmy is cool and all but reddit is certainly still generating/aggregating way more content and its where most lemmy content is originating at this moment. I think for now the tech folks are here setting up, a few of us are bumbling around discovering this, and everyone else is still on reddit. I am not a very techy person myself and lemmy is a weird system to wrap your mind around coming from reddit and I can see how people may not bother, especially this early. Just choosing an instance and then finding communities is like an absolute mindmelter if you’re used to reddit and its’ easy to see why people on reddit would not be keen to move away.

I think right now everyone wants to join beehaw because its big. Beehaw doesn’t want to be big, it wants to be safe for its users and as a result defederated a ton of instances to maintain it. you’re not missing anything by leaving beehaw behind. It’s a blip on the radar in these early days. Yesterday i was kinda mad about it too, today I have just moved on and guess what…it’s fine. I guess they plan on refederating at some point with lemme world and shitjustworks but for now, they are maintaining their community as they see best. I don’t think it will work long term because as people get acquainted with what it actually means to defederate and how it creates an echo chamber (many don’t yet understand how visibility of comments works on defederated lemmys), people on the outside will stop wanting in and people on the inside won’t even realize how bubbled they have become.

The rif creator recommended we come to lemmy.world. its why i am here.
