This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg's terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.

Another old vet here. Reddit wasn't special back then. It just wasn't Digg and they either didn't know that or forgot that

I was DiggDuggDone before moving to Reddit. Almost 14 years later I’m now Drunemeton across the webs.

Really loving the Fediverse so far! I’ve been so much more engaged.

I was a Digg! refugee.
