Yep.
I'm always skeptical when a huge mass of users needs to move, and I saw what happend when Ellen Pao did her rounds. There were small attempts to threat about moving, but there was nothing to really move to.
This time it's way different.
- Lemmys place seems to actually be mature enough to help refugees move with more confidence.
- Spez royaly screwing up so bad in an AMA and showing where their loyalty lies.
- The posts/discussions are at a level now that will attract users to stay and make better long term decisions if they wanna lurk/contribute.
I moved when Digg went down because we got shown that we are a product.
I moved now because Reddit/"Fuck /u/spez" showed us that we are a product
We are better than that and if I can see spez go down in flames, with an IPO that gets shown what happens when you disregard what makes your "product" valuable...
I am a lemming!!
That statement about herding cats will stay with me for a bit.
