I joined VU on Monday, just out of curiosity, without necessarily ever thinking of abandoning /ecr, and given the policy changes over on reddit this week, find it ironic that /ecr is getting slammed now with the threat of being nuked by the reddit admins...
I am not wanting to quit /ecr, but I am pleased that VU exists and in this form, AND has such great content and nice folks that I've seen in the past week.
It's both a little scary, and also a little exciting to branch out into unknown territory.
Some discussion over there is about concern of flooding VU with /ecr refugees if /ecr gets banned, in that we do not want to be resented like the 'eternal september' of AOL users/newbies nor overwhelm the existing culture that already exists here on VU, while also retaining the feel and connection betw many of us that we have on /ecr...
I have not seen an 'official' exodus plan, but VU has been mentioned often enough that if/when needed, folks will find VU and likely trickle in if /ecr and related sub-reddits get shut down.
I am happy to be here, and I like this place.
Also, kudos and thanks to
@UncleRJ for making this thread - I was wondering if/when this might happen, and I'm glad it's sooner rather than later since us early colonists that have migrated or investigated VU before the rest of the herd can assist in easing the transition, of course once we ourselves get our bearings here.
Thanks for having us!
