Sorry this is so difficult :( You make good points on people forced to migrate never really enjoying where they end up because it's not where they wanted to be in the first place... A few might find they actually like the different style or etiquette and just never had the chance to try it before, but overall if you were fine where you were, being forced to move is never pleasant.
Fandom is sooooo huge nowadays, mainstream in some cases. I can't help but think that some dispersion is nice so people who enjoy different kinds of interactions can find communities with the style they like better (but I'm feeling really burnt by the hostility and dogpiles when I tried to follow my fandom on Twitter) but I take your point that it rarely works out that nicely and most fandoms end up with a core congregating on a single fandom anyway.
Glad you seem to be finding a good space for yourself on Pillowfort, though sorry about the circumstances.
