    A moment of silence for comrades who did not survive the reddit —> discord —> Lemmy journey

      I feel like all the active r/cth users made it to discord, but a significant amount don't want to go from discord to here

        tbh I only went on the discord for the #lemmy-discussion and the occasional shitpost

          Yeah, having a chatbox can be fun but the speed at which the discord moves makes content even more fleeting than it already was.

        I mean there were a lot saying that on the discord, but I'd say there are more people who were waiting for this to get set up which isn't something that'd be a vocal opinion on the discord

          yep, no way i was going to discord, was totally waiting for this.

          Why wouldn't the active r/cth users come here from discord? Not enough boots?

          I'd imagine many more passive users just kept using reddit, and I'm not sure what it will take to bring people over here permanently. Old habits die hard etc.

          yeah, I sense that a majority of people are willing to come here, but it sucks that a not-insignificant number of comrades won't be part of this community because they happen to prefer the chatroom format or they don't want to make a new account or some other minor thing along those lines

            no shade to the discord people, but I think a big part of it is that the chatroom format leads to cliques and some don't want to leave the cliques that naturally formed

              Cliques are revisionist (unless they succeed, in which case they're called a vanguard party)

              I don't really understand that. Like....you can do both.
