Any platform trying to introduce a new behavior pattern faces the same challenge: you need to push hard initially, even harder than the end goal requires. This is especially true when your user base has been around for years—they've got habits baked in. You can't ease into change with a loyal, long-time community. Brief overcorrection isn't a bug; it's the only way to shift the needle and establish something that actually sticks.

Really? I find overcorrecting this way of saying quite upsetting. Long-term users are like this; without a strong push, nothing can be moved.

That's why those old projects always have such aggressive revamps; you have to go all out.

That's why the community exploded during the Discord redesign... you have to push hard to turn it around.
