No, I don’t think there is a “not insignificant” number of people who would jump ship. We’re literally just a few nerds who dislike the monolithic corporate structure and care about privacy. Stop pretending the whole world is in the same boat. It’s turning into a weird tinfoil conspiracy.
It’s fine that we like it here, and I’m glad that we have an alternative, but people need to wake up and realize this isn’t some huge activist movement where we’re pwning “the man”. They don’t give two shits about these dumbass protests. They will do whatever necessary to continue growing and earning money. So stop giving a shit about them, stop talking about reddit, and just be happy users have the power with Lemmy.
I got my sync and I don’t mind the computer nerd vibe on lemmy; reddit for a long time was that, far before subreddits were a thing. TBH I’m actually enjoying reading about hexbears and lemmygrad and .ml, the whole maga vs libs thing was getting old and it’s fun to mix things up and see how truly different the radical left is from mainstream politics. Federation gives me true freedom to censor what I see or explore what I want.

I don’t care about privacy or centralization, I just wanted Boost and they decided to kill that.
