Relays aside, the simplest approach here would be to have some sort of alt.

Mastodon appears to have lost around 40 thousand users (although, it's unclear whether this is from people leaving Mastodon, or just moving to a different fediverse implementation).

The drop is so sudden, that I'm gonna go with a migration of some sort.

Since someone seems to be offended, to be clear, I don't have a particular opinion on this.

Also, if they're doing mindfulness, I'm going to say they're doing mindfulness. I don't think it's helpful to create an aura of mystique over therapeutic practices.

"The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) this week recommended that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) move marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, the most restrictive category, to Schedule III, where it would join medications such as Tylenol with codeine, buprenorphine, and anabolic steroids."

"But if cannabis is eventually moved to Schedule III, that change would signal a new understanding of the drug's risks and benefits. It also would facilitate cannabis research, and it would have important tax implications for state-licensed marijuana businesses. At the same time, it would leave federal marijuana prohibition essentially untouched."

I see the newest thing a scientist is doing to try to get people to stop using real child porn is to get them to do mindfulness exercises.

I think with nudges, they can be kind of annoying and feel like a bit of a nag for users. When I spoke to one, they likened it to a nanny.
