Some (okay, quite a lot) of that pushback seems really weird to me. There’s so many people pontificating about the “convenience” of Reddit, and having access to every community on the same platform… somehow failing to realize that an Internet browser is, itself, a single platform that can access everything and that clicking on a specific sub from a website’s drop-down menu is functionally no different from clicking a bookmarked webpage from a browser’s drop-down menu.

I think folks are just scared of change and upset at the (minimal) inconvenience of having to set up a new account elsewhere.

Here’s hoping this takes off! In retrospect it probably would’ve been smarter for me to pick the same username as my Reddit account, but given how few people have registered here so far, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to grab Kestrel.
