It is my pleasure to announce that effective immediately, we are transferring our community to Lemmy.world! This has been a few months in the making, so my entire mod team is already on board.
FAQ:
Why?
That's a complicated question with a long answer! The primary difference is moderatorial and ideologial differences between my team and Ada's excellent team of admins. We are on good terms with Ada and her team, and have gotten her consent to do this. In addition to this, the fact that a large portion of instances do not federate with 196 has caused our reach to be reduced, with many communities creating their own 196es.
How does this work?
Currently, as there is not an easy way to transfer an entire community (trust me, we checked), we are locking the community as mod-only, and moving our focus to the 196 on lemmy.world. For you guys, functionally nothing has changed.
What about the posts?
Well, we tried to transfer them, but there was no real way to do so without absolutely destroying lemmy.world's federation. For this reason, we are simply archiving this community as mod-only. Everything is staying up, you just won't be able to post new content. Comments are still enabled, so we will continue to check our modlogs for some time after the transfer has settled.
As for the posts on lemmy.world's 196, we're leaving those up too. From this point onwards, all posts made to that community are beholden to the rules you are all used to, but anything pre-existing is getting grandfathered in.
IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE PUT THEM IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS POST, AND I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM.
Once again, here's the link to our new apartment of awesome. (universal: !196@lemmy.world)
Wasn't 196 like basically the determining factor behind why we defederated from Blåhaj Lemmy?
Blahaj wanted to defend their lib 196 community and their chasers more than they wanted to be federated with all the trans leftists here on Hexbear.
And look where that left them.
Hilarious.
Maybe now they can admit their mistakes, remove their toxic mods, and we can be friends again as it should be. Not counting on it though
i assume this is a joke, but in case you (or anyone else) is unaware this will never happen, ada is also a turbo lib, she got offended over a "death to nato" comment
Maybe she'll change her tune now that 196 bailed on her for not being liberal enough.
Death to NATO of course.
i wont hold my breath tbh
Quick somebody draw the Arch of Reunification except the one lady's a bear furry and the other lady's a shark scalie and the map of Korea is replaced with I dunno the trans symbol with a fediverse logo in it or something
Leftists, once again, execute devious plan to sit back and relax as liberals destroy themselves.
Yep, moss is the ableist head mod that posted carcosa's dm to 196 to cause drama, and that ada refused to moderate
Lolol, doesn't Ada insist they were the ones who defederated because of the dunk comms?
