They will if all their friends go
Comment on Elon Musk wanting to remove dim theme from twitter

You can talk to them all you like about how it’s better and how it’s not scary, but nobody’s going to go anywhere that doesn’t have the content they want.

I came here early in the reddit migration. The content I wanted was there, but I understood that new content would be created here with time.That proved to be completely true. The amount of content has absolutely exploded in a short time and it's still growing.
It was worth the risk to use something that both reflects my value system and does not support those that actively behave in ways I find deplorable. I'd rather not engage in social media at all than support any of those monsters. I never used x/twitter. I left Facebook years and years ago, but was never a huge fan anyway. But, make no mistake, I really loved reddit. I adored it. It was my favorite place on the internet for a third of my life. But spez ruined it by mistreating people. It hurt to leave, but I had no other option.
I think the lack of content is an excuse. I think, if you haven't left by now, you just don't really care - especially if you are aware of alternatives. You probably don't want to have to care either.
