    It’s so wierd. User’s will complain like hell, but never actually stop being users.

    How is “compettiu” supposed to work if you’re not willing to to switch to a “competitor”? There’s no competition forcing a company to improve if you just really sternly tell them off, then continue being a customer regardless.

      Because redditors aren’t the customers but the product. What reddit is selling to its advertisers are people that do exactly what you said. Complain but not change.

      Gradually, then suddenly.

      Most users don’t make principled stands that easily. People are still on Twitter.

      They’ll jump ship eventually, as the services will inevitably continue their downward spiral. As far as I’m concerned they can take their sweet time. I’d much prefer seeing the fediverse grow gradually along with its own culture rather than having a sudden influx of users act as if it’s an exact substitute for the place they are leaving behind.
