I actually think that for those who wish to migrate, or even just diversify, a slow migration through awareness building is ideal. A lot of forums that people rely on won’t easily be built up overnight. Not to mention the strain of so many people moving over to new platforms at once.
I remember reading about the various challenges that came about when the Twitter meltdown began. Everything from emergency announcements to disability advocacy and support wound up being impacted.
We still don’t know what the future of Reddit is. Whether things up wind up resolving for better or worse with the platform (and tbh I hope it’s better for the many people who still love it and have found an online home there), establishing an awareness of alternatives is great. It means people will know they have somewhere to go if the ship goes down.
I feel like with Twitter it was a lot harder for people to find that and many are still looking.
