    I totally agree and have made a similar argument on Reddit in one of those spaces as well. I think it’s worth purposely killing those existing communities to get people to move. Boring malicious compliance + a link to the new home is how egg_irl has been handling it and I think it’s how others should as well (I have complaints about where they’re moving the community to, but that’s a separate issue). The mods have explicitly stated they’re trying to make the sub boring to get people to leave.

    But I won’t insult mods of a less meme-focused support network who believes that putting up with reddit is worth it to help provide as much of a safe space on Reddit as they can. I think they may be acting in what they believe to be the best interests of others, likely at their own expense (in terms of time and sanity). Diversity of tactics are cool
