      The community did fairly clearly vote for migration - the announcement went up this morning. If I was asked to pick a destination myself tomorrow, this is where I’d point them.

      However - I wish it was that simple.

      There’s going to be some consultation and some more vetting of alternatives, as well as some inevitable longer process of finding ways to make the new space more appealing or alluring so that there’s a reason for people to move over. We can’t make that community hostile and drive people out, breeding resentment of the new space in advance won’t have productive outcomes.

      So much of the demographic over there is in that specific space because everyone else is also in that space, and so creating the sort of critical mass momentum that would migrate the community will probably be a lengthy project.
