What if Meta's hidden objective behind the Threads-to-Mastodon initiative is a play on app.net? And, what if threads.net is a measured step towards what could be the greatest pivot in all of tech?

Yes theres also a lower bound, the upper bound can and should be as high as it should go but im afraid the biggest hurdle to having safe high growth is the possable culture clash. I fear (educated guess) it will happen and im hoping it wont.

Also, from your example, reddit is not exactly the same culture as lemmy and we had a "what habits do you wanna keep (effectively adopt) or drop from reddit" post, stuff like "/s". Id say overall few issues and should have and ive heard people encourage going as fast as possable but your saying our radicals pushed back.

Reddit is not exactly the same culture as lemmy.

True but I'd argue that, once you start looking into the more niche subreddits, there is no single culture within Reddit itself, and these thousands of smaller niches are the really important ones and could've helped with the migration.

Wow, yes!

My personal niche, Sbubby was pseudo migrated many diffrent places, 2 discords, a lemmy page and someone is still running the subreddit.

There was a explosion and resession, there is no hope of finding either discord without their link and the reddit mass exodus was temporary were left fractured across 4 or 5 sites.

My other niche, on the reddit side is filled with horny people and salesman. Over here, theres a ~4 user/month community thats sweet and loving but has nobody.
