There are a couple small subreddits I’m part of that are lifelines, close communities for people who need a space to share information & be themselves. I’ve checked in on them once during the past month & they’re still holding together. The mods are staying because those small groups of users need them & don’t have another place to go. I expect once the Fediverse spawns more highly specialized niche communities, they’ll drift over.
This makes absolutely no sense. The smaller the community is, the easier it is to migrate. They could just go to literally any other service.
The community is the people, not the platform.
