Reddit or social media in general should be the last thing we switch, simply because we need to reach as many people as possible. If we give that up too early, the movement dies instantly. You cannot convince people to switch if they can't even see your posts.

This is half right half cope. You aren't forced to use a single social media. You can switch while remaining.

Also I cracked up seeing someone say "as a Lemmy user" then noticing their name was guillotines now. Very on brand.
