Fediverse migrants are a self-selecting group (lemmy.world)

Point being, all of us that are here are the ones cool enough to come here. We are unified by the desire for a better social media that is not-for-profit and user driven. And that makes this community unique compared to the scabs advocating for Reddit. The people who will belong here will come here. :)

Yea I'm with you. For a few days, I was debating if I wanted to get the word out to some select communities and friends regarding kbin / lemmy / fediverse stuff, but I've come to the decision to keep it personal. As you mentioned, there's a self-selection thing going on and those that should be here will end up here anyway.

How do you think people end up here then? I came in by someone mentioning it on Reddit because that person felt that it wasn't personal.

If word isn't spread, people will not find Lemmy or Kbin.

Same way I found it. But what I think is being said is: not everyone wants to leave Reddit. If they do, sure let them know. But a lot of people don't want to switch.

I think that also many other people, who maybe use subs that were not part of the blackout didn't even know that there was a protest. some friends of mine didn't know till i told them.
