people are not willingly moving, they are forced to move. So are they showing support or forced to 'show support' ?

Nobody's forced to use the new #startups. You could just as easily start #startups2 and sit by yourself.

Why the generalisation? You don't speak for me.

It's just as easy for me to type /server irc.mibbit.net over /server irc.freenode.net - no forcing involved.
