The sad truth is the other site will be fine, it'll just chug on without all of us -- or with us, in a reduced capacity. There will be times where it'll hit new highs of active users, even.

There has always been a market for disinformation and hate. If the other site suffers the same fate the equivalent news outlet does, it'll be the dominant social media platform in short order.

At the risk of being saccharine, I'm glad we're here and we have this. I hope you all stay.

@andrew It is sad and unfortunate that misinformation and intolerance exists. And it’s challenging to tackle these problems head on. I do wonder how all of us can play a role in doing that because we cannot address falsehoods and intolerance by sweeping them under the carpet even if we don’t want to give them more reach.
