@OpenMediaOrg To everyone making snarky "why didn't you do this earlier" comments, please learn this rule: "Do not punish the behaviour you want to see" (tumblr.com/ingridverse/1702233…)
OpenMedia has left X. That is good. We want more people to leave X. OpenMedia spent time and effort to write a blog post announcing their move, which will encourage others to leave X as well. That is very good. We want people encouraging others to leave X.
But now, when people look at this post, and see so many "what took you so long"-type comments, they may say, "I don't want to deal with that negativity". OpenMedia's blog post may convince them to leave X, but they'll do so quietly. We'll have fewer blog posts encouraging others to leave X. We'll have fewer announcements saying "I've left X, you should too". The message won't reach as many people.
If you want more people to say "I've left X, you should too", then don't be part of the reason that doesn't happen.
