Yep.

I'm always skeptical when a huge mass of users needs to move, and I saw what happend when Ellen Pao did her rounds. There were small attempts to threat about moving, but there was nothing to really move to.

This time it's way different.

Lemmys place seems to actually be mature enough to help refugees move with more confidence.
Spez royaly screwing up so bad in an AMA and showing where their loyalty lies.
The posts/discussions are at a level now that will attract users to stay and make better long term decisions if they wanna lurk/contribute.

I moved when Digg went down because we got shown that we are a product.

I moved now because Reddit/"Fuck /u/spez" showed us that we are a product

We are better than that and if I can see spez go down in flames, with an IPO that gets shown what happens when you disregard what makes your "product" valuable...

I am a lemming!!
