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. :)
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.
