With previous Rexit’s like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.
What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

Is there any new development around this or are you just speculating? All I’ve seen so far is discussions about age verification for the UK, and most of the conversation was more about finding workarounds than leaving.
The community here is what needs to improve the most. The majority here is hostile to new users and too prone to demand purity tests from everyone who is just thinking about leaving Reddit.
Reddit already requires it in the UK, afik.
But it’s mostly speculation form my side.
Yes, and do we have any numbers about UK usage before/after the changes? Do we have any idea of how many people there:
And for those that were not satisfied, what was failing to them? Was the Fediverse so bad that they rather go back to Reddit, or did they just quit social media altogether?
The UK started asking for age verification ~5 months ago. That should give us more than enough data to take a look at this objectively.
