U > But if you actually listen to the people who've stayed behind, you'll learn that the main reason our friends stay on legacy platforms is that they care about the other people there more than they hate Zuck or Musk.
Never have i ever heard something that made me think "more hate would be a good thing". Until now.
Caring less about others is not an option, hate it is.

This take cuts a little. Alt. perspective, YMMV:
I grew up v. poor in North Alabama (tail end of Appalachians).
In my 20s I moved around the country collecting graduate degrees.
I came back here when I went ABD.
Ppl ask me sometimes why I don't leave.
Lots of reasons, including "ppl I love are here," but a big one = If you want to help, you have to go where the trouble is.
Unless it's already at home.
In which case ... you can stay & slug it out.

Not saying that's the choice everybody SHOULD make, but imo it's at least as good as hating the ppl who are frustrating you by not picking up stakes themselves.
When the house you're in sucks, moving is often a solid option.
I'm not sure it's an inherently BETTER option, at least not all of the time, than renovations.
That some houses are more worth renovating than others is ofc stipulated.
