At 8 years young I am way short of the long term Reddit membership criteria, but don't think that is really important, rather what matters are the reasons creating Reddit refugees and how they transition.

Personally I am transitioning away from Reddit as organisational goals are, in my view, trampling the community foundation of Reddit.

My personal transition to the Fediverse is not friction-less, and there are new community norms and tools to be aware of. In my case I have reverted to RSS to monitor key Reddit subreddits, where the fediverse does not yet have the critical informational mass, have started posting to the fediverse, and already learned new stuff such as there being different tools and expectations when it comes to things such as cross-posting.

Like others have said I encourage patience when it comes to Reddit refugees such as myself, encouraging rather than denigrating our ignorance when it comet to getting to grips with the fediverse, and all of its differences and tools. We will all be stronger for that in the long run!
