I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin (sh.itjust.works)

Most people aren't even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It's not that hard.

No, it is that hard.

  1. You have hundreds/thousands of community members accustomed to a certain user experience that have to start that learning all over again when they move platforms.
  2. You have teams of moderators that have to learn a new set of tools for a new platform.
  3. Less content and inferior experience for everyone until there's headway made on 1 & 2.

Anyone whose worked on a team that had a management shakeup can appreciate this. Anyone who has a friend that refuses to migrate to windows 11 can appreciate this.

to be fair windows 10 to 11 is not much of a change vs like windows 7 to 8 or windows xp to 7
