I don't have much sympathy for this. If you really just care about the community, then just move the community to lemmy/kbin/discord/irc/whatever. These people are just afraid to lose their power over the community, not the community itself.

Easier said than done. I doubt the decision to move to another place would be unanimous. If I were in a sub that decided to move someplace else, I wouldn't join if they were migrating to a site I don't like for whatever reason. Another example: some subs that migrated here still have active communities in reddit and members that didn't join the migration. For a small sub, that hurts more.

People value things differently.
