@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

There is a big difference between slow growth over time though (say a few percent of the existing user base every month) and a giant influx of new users (say 10 times the existing user base in a single month). The latter destroys everything the community was about since nobody knows the unwritten rules and new users copy bad behaviour from other new users.

Wouldnโ€™t it help to make the rules written, then enforce them?

Reading rules is different from living them (getting used to them)
