Social networks need critical mass to sustain themselves.

Part of that is making sure this site has that critical mass by encouraging folks to come here.

Part of that is making sure bird site isn't a place where you provide free content anymore.

There's a good chance when you joined here, you cared more about the first of those as a hedge against bird site dying.

But if recent changes mean you want birdsite to affirmatively die, you'll need to do both.

@Pwnallthethings @kalmn I’m not that convinced that more new users are what this platform is clamoring for right now. I’ve found the community to be pretty welcoming toward this flood of newcomers, but the overall vibe I’m getting really isn’t “Please, we need more of you.”

@lauraintheory @Pwnallthethings Ah, I'm excited about the remember to post and make content here. And the remember to not post on birdsite.

@kalmn @Pwnallthethings I am with you on the excitement about being here (and about moving on from There!), just bothered by that particular framing. Coming into a space all “It is our mission to make your little platform viable!” is peak white-dude.
