So, say something. It can feel hard, but what’s the worst that can happen?
Even just show a friend how one of their favorite communities has moved. Or just share a lemmy.world link instead of a reddit.com link to a similar post.
Getting folks to move off facebook messenger or something like that to Signal felt similar about 5-8 years ago. But… enough shitty news stories and worse-and-worse scandals, and just consistently mentioning it as an option works pretty well. These things snowball
I did bring it up when the protests started happening, I was met with some apathy and something like ‘I’ll just have to wait and see what the new big thing is, until then I’m going to keep using reddit’. This is all first world problem stuff anyway so whatever, thanks for taking the time to reply and for contributing to the community.
