I’m already monitoring this kind of threads, organizing discussion here and on !fedigrow@lemm.ee, monitor /r/RedditAlternatives and keep communities like !lego@lemm.ee.
That’s good work, and it’s more than anyone could ask of you, thank you for doing it! I hope it’s clear I was just turning your responses around; “feel free to jump in and let them know”, “sad to hear” don’t read well. I’m not in any way trying to say that you haven’t been doing enough.
Might read better, and they’re still short enough to post quickly.
When I’m home, I’ll look into creating an account or two securely and joining in. I’m already telling everyone I know about Lemmy in meatspace, it’s remarkable how even my technically-adept friends are still largely on Reddit.
Oh yes, and “sad to hear/that’s unfortunate” could use an endcap like “but no worries!” to soften them. Without the endcap and no further punctuation, they read negatively - maybe sarcastic, maybe passive-aggressive and uncaring, or something along those lines - I’m not really sure how to describe it at the moment beyond “negative”. Personally, I like to throw in a quick example of how I understand their position, but I think that’s optional.

I rephrased “sad to hear” to “that’s unfortunate”
What about “feel free to jump in and let them know”, how would you change it so that it still calls to action?
I think

Thanks, those are good suggestions!
