The same argument can be made for so many groups. A lot of people just don’t take risks in trying new things.

I’ve had similar thoughts about political groups. There was a huge influx to the Fediverse from left wing politics when Musk took over Twitter but many stayed because reasons. I don’t get it to be honest, be the change you want to see in the world. Why generate revenue for people you dislike? Baffling.

Most folks don’t take the mechanics of the internet seriously.
