you got it right people who stayed are either the stupid type who can't work their mind around how lemmy works OR people who can't be bothered to switch and just want to get xyz for free and both are not the people who made our community

you should hear some of what they say " oh reddit is a profit company what did you expect " or " the mods faked votes through discord raids " or as plain as it gets it does not concerns me I don't give a fuck so stop shoving Lemmy down my throat
