Seriously, what's up with big sites literally dying as we speak? (lemmy.ml)

First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

To be clear, I like it better here, but I do not want an exodus of any type. I want slow migration to help the platform grow more organically and for people to see a polished experience.

People won't come back if they show up once, interact with this not-pretty-but-functional site and don't like it. So I'd rather wait for the influx of users to be at a later time tbh.

The trick is to have enough of an interest from enthusiasts now to "prime the pump" so when the general population comes over there is enough to keep them here.

It sort of reminds me of the Digg exodus. Reddit was a much smaller site than Digg yet there were many instances of Digg users reposting things from Reddit since the community had quality content despite it's small size. The Digg redesign only accelerated the migration.
