With previous Rexit’s like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.
What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

Tbf, the Twitter exodus was kind of a different enshittification. There’s less of a need for filter on that because the issue was “Stay if you’re a nazi” not “Stay if you want to keep tolerating more and more frustrating UI issues and barriers”
So whereas anyone who was looking to leave Twitter we could give the benefit of the doubt because of that implicit filter, it’s not the same for Reddit and I expect swathes of “devil’s advocate” conservative trolls to suddenly pop out of the woodwork looking for new homes [sources of validation].
