Let them do what they want. The communities you wanna check out will be available elsewhere with time.

What bothers me about this is that the administrators at sh.itjust.works, beehaw.org, and lemmy.world are all being adults about this.

While this Reddit-like stampede is already trying to create an us-vs-them environment.

It's fine. The adults are adulting. Maybe a bit of Reddit deprogramming is all that is needed for people to become more reasonable.

Exactly! I'm new here (from Reddit) it's very clear that some of us new ppl are getting confused as to why instances are having to defed and are getting upset at the admins.

We are the reason!

The admins are working hard with the extra traffic and increased exposure to content that may not have previously been welcome in their communities.

My fellow Reddit refugees, post and comment on the content you want to see, not the drama and the uncertainty right now. Find your ppl in the new communities and start sharing and conversing like the good old days on Reddit.

The Reddit deprogramming goes deep, for sure. I still find myself deleting comments here after typing them out because there is a 50/50 chance of getting abuse from someone for basically anything you post on that site.
Honestly, same. There have been a few times I deleted stuff a few hours after posting because I didn't like how they could be read at some point in the future
Great comment imo
