It's the same thing with multiple instances now. The stronger and more popular will inevitably survive. I'm putting my eggs in the Lemmy basket, but other alternatives might end up being better. And if that is realized, then I fully intend to switch again.

I wonder if having so many options (even bad options) publicized might not be a bad thing.

(1) It at least stalls off the reddit hug of death for better options.

(2) Some of the bad options might work better than expected.

(3) People on the bad options will talk about better options.

(4) The better options will slowly gain steam based on word of mouth etc.

Do we want a mass migration or a slow sustained one?

(5) Given that it takes a little digging, poking, and experimenting to figure things out, it may be the case that, at least at first, the better options are populated with more careful and thoughtful people?

Just speculating.

And, ya, SOMEONE should make a more concise and workable list to disseminate.
