I wonder how many people we're gonna lose over this, because I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time. I already migrated once, I'm not gonna do it again because some people can't realize how toxic it's going to be when they federate with us.

I see a lot of people saying they'll just switch instances but haven't seen anyone say they'll just jump ship, am I alone ? Or maybe I'm missing an option that would allow me to transfer all my settings from one instance to another ?

I don't think the world admins really care if users transfer away. That's just federation in action. Good stuff.

World admin playing 4d chess by showing the benefit of account migration in activitypub.

My original concern about "losing people" wasn't about transferring away, but rather about leaving the fediverse entirely over the concern of having to remake an account and having to curate up to my standards all over again. Which is now a moot point since I've been given solutions to migrate easily.

Oh gotcha. I'd suppose that if a person is that concerned with Threads, they're probably invested in the idea of Lemmy such that transferring to another instance is not out of the question. Someone who's not interested in putting in the effort to transfer probably doesn't feel strongly either way about Threads. That's just an assumption on my part, of course.

YMMV ofc but I'd tend to agree that it makes sense yes.

OP really would appretiate a tool like that! Can you tell us what the tool is.

Where you gonna go? Back to reddit?

[–] NOSin@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Since it's a moot point now, it's not a consideration anymore but ew no, that wasn't even an option in the first place.

Outside, maybe? lol

Edit: ~~Weird, my comment started at -1 karma. Is this thread being botted or something?~~ Oh I accidentally downvoted myself.....

Let’s get it back down there.

Lol. I mentioned it not because I care about the karma, but because I've never seen any of my comments instantly start at -1 and it was mildly interesting.

I mean, I do care a little about my imaginary internet points, but that's not why I mentioned it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
