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)
Oh thank god it won’t shit up my all feed on my instance that fully blocks Libby.world when I browse logged out
might as well shut down their whole section of the website and move to reddit.welt
Damnit I thought Hexbear was moving to lemmy.word and that would have made me laugh hard
Tankies and the unbearable burden of being right all the time, example 7,191
With .world's new recent policy of "respectful dissent" and allowing chud misinformation to thrive, I predict these clowns will start going mask-off there and say the most heinous shit.
anyone that would choose to go to lemmy.world deserves to be there really
lol their banner says "and fuck tankies"
i am glad i am not so terminally online that the scariest thing in the world to me is people who think china is swell or whatever
I can't imagine forming a worldview that requires you to both know the word tankie and hate them
It involves knowing the word "Tankie" but also knowing nothing about communism, socialism, tankies, geopolitics, capitalism, liberalism, fascism, reality etc. It's just a pure vibes based existence where you have an evil enemy to hate who only likes bad things for no reason or benefit to themselves.
my ex started going through a "grrr tankies r the worst thing ever" phase a bit before we broke up. they were basically so terminally online they had no understanding of what people were actually like. so they thought communists genuinely wanted to like... do fascism. they just thought commies were fascists, because ????? i think it was a vibes based thing bc muh authoritarianism.
idk they were also abusive so i dont try to figure out their thoughts that much even tho i rly want to pick apart that bit specifically cos i dont really get it either
/s You don't understand, its neither Washington nor Beijing, but Beijing is far worse and is imperialist!!!1!1!!
These are the people you sold your soul to, blahaj admins, and they're just leaving.
(and has a team that is 40% trans)
So your moderation team of a nominally trans safe space is majority cis. No wonder /c/196 sucked so hard lmao. I'll guess they'll fit right in in lemmy.world.
In addition, lemmy.world has a pretty great reputation, being one of the most popular instances.
lol
Now I wonder if they're move was the reason for the flat worlders are valid positions and allowed on world announcement
blahaj.zone admins have a tendency to moderate rather heavy-handedly. Mod choices are rarely, if ever, checked by my team, and bans are often given for things that are not in violation of our rules. This is because Ada runs lemmy.blahaj.zone as a very curated community, often removing and banning for matters that are, in my opinion, based on opinion rather than objectivity. I have little against that, and think that, as the owner, she has every right to choose how to run her community. That being said, I don’t think its the right community for us.
An instance rules have priority over the rules of a comm???
Objectivity is when I think something is correct, and subjectivity is when other people think something I disagree with.
