I made the switch when RiF died. In all honesty I wish it wasn’t necessary, because the niche communities here are a shadow of what Reddit had before the blackouts. And while Reddit had trolls just like Lemmy, it was big enough that you didn’t have to share general spaces with them.
Vagrant Story was ahead of its time and constrained by the PS1 hardware. If Square Enix had held on for a few years and developed it for the PS2 it would have started its own franchise.
