Hey @baconmash@baconmash@aussie.zone I've been scrolling through the DT and I've seen a couple more regulars. I don't recognise like 90% of people there, and I think some of them may be here already (but my memory is just no good today, and they aren't on the spreadsheet). Have they been messaged and decided not to migrate, or were they forgotten?

I posted in there and received a response from MajorBear saying they're "old and don't like change".

I think we're just going to have to live with the idea that we're going to be a little fractured for a time. Maybe we'll end up together again eventually. Hopefully we do.

Fair enough. If they don't want to come, we should deffo respect that. Just don't want to forget anyone or it to seem like we're excluding them!

[–] jaybb3rw0cky@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah - I think given how quick the shutdown ended up being it makes sense there may be a few that were missed, just by pure chance. And 100% about being respectful of their decisions. I just hope that if we do all end up, by some small miracle, back at the Reddit DT that the place isn't trashed like some poorly run AirBnB.

While the sub was closed yeah, but now it's more of a personal preference. I don't want to give anyone pressure to come here.

also epicpillowcase didn't come over - has anyone messaged her? I've deleted my account or I'd do it. Haven't seen justkitten either tho she may be taking a break from screen time.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

I messaged epicpillow. They replied and might join us here.

[–] omoikiri@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

A few of us have messaged kitten. I haven’t heard back yet, at least

[–] RosaliePreistley@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah i messaged epic too.

[–] _miss_cellophane_@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

I had messaged ghostghost31. They’re taking a break from online stuff, but knows where to find us.

When did I become Mum? Am I Mum?

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

You are our mum! You always greet us "good morning kids'

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

No they had not been messaged (I hadn't messaged mr snrub yet) but I guess we don't have to anymore unless we want to personally invite them over here? We've been posting our link there rather often. I'll keep doing that every morning at breakfast time.
