Also a reminder that crossposting back to bird site makes it easier for people to stay there and hides how folks are leaving.

Whether you continue to do that is up to you, of course, and will be dependent on how much your circles of friends have already jumped ship.

But if lots already have, consider not doing that to encourage friends to leave the main character battle arena site and join better alternatives.

@Pwnallthethings this is ideologically right, but practically bad advice :)

“That's not how you do it :) would you post that "goodbye everyone" for years to come? When you leave algo just puts another person in your place, no one even notices a difference. You need to cross post with links to Mastodon, especially for 240+ posts https://t.co/uyLc9MWlRK”
