    Anyone who’s ever tried to get a friend group to change chat apps knows this isn’t simple.

    I imagine doing it with a few thousand people is even more difficult.

      I don’t see why you need to bring everyone over with you. Even just a hundred is more than enough for a community

      The assumption here is that mods moving is enough.

      The mods didn’t have to move the community, just move themselves and let nature sort things out.

      I tried to get my friend group to move to Signal from FB messenger because I did not want that nasty shit on my phone anymore. They were not interested at all and acted like it was the most inconvenient thing in the world. I ended up uninstalling FB messenger anyway and only check it on my desktop and rarely respond now unless it is a one on one conversation or directed at me in a group chat. I told them if they want/need to get in touch with me right away to use old school SMS or actually call me.
