When suggesting switching now, today, in the near term, always present this as a ‘new canvas’, a new beginning in which we collectively will recreate what we want from what we left behind, and build forward to what we collectively desire. The lemmiverse I entered 2.5 years ago is not the place we have created up to this point. My early kbin content is more or less gone, I think, sigh, but so what. This is an opportunity, not an impediment. For example, because of the shambles IG creates when one exports one’s content, I’ve been sorting out my less favored content, and sorting in my more favored images while also adding new on Pixelfed. One may wish to ask one’s self, what do I want in my Fediverse, and what am I quite happy to leaving behind?
