      Network effects mean you can’t switch without losing all those communities.

      When I left Reddit, I left behind the only active mental health community on the internet supporting those with my specific condition. I had the choice to leave, sure, but what did it cost me?

        While I sympathise, hat’s not what imposition means. For better or for worse, both Discord and Reddit got where they were by being good for what they offered.

        I’d almost agree in a way about Reddit - they basically imposed a shitty app after building their base. But apart from the username change, Discord is as shitty or great as it always has been.
