I don’t know why this take hits me so hard. It’s so utterly comical in my brain. It’s such a bizarre idea to me that we’re going to be bleeding the users who have been here when it was literally only hexbear after a week or two of federation because, what, do they think their posting power is going to sway people over there? This is one of the least controversial site decisions to have happened over on this side of the coin. The idea of this being a phenomenon that will happen with multiple, let alone even one of our pre-federation users is so utterly incompatible with my mental model of Hexbear that I can’t fucking get over it. It’s fucking fascinating

if you are one of these people planning to exodus to blahaj full-time please let me know because it’s too good of a bit to keep to yourself
