I think also some of them didn’t like the regulars in there that came over here. Something about an echo chamber or something.

I still use Reddit for communities that didn’t migrate but I didn’t fully appreciate what the mods did by shutting down Melbourne for an extended time.

I hope we can grow this community though, there’s room for both unless Reddit implodes and goes under.

Well that’s the more succinct version yes. There’s a lot to be said for a smooth user interface experience I guess. And familiarity of the platform.

Which is a bit odd, given that most people need to use RES to be able to interact in a satisfying way with reddit.
