[Meta] Should we move this community to another server? (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone.

The main motivation for this is that lemmy.world hosts most of the communities in the fediverse, so it's a large point of failure.
They also have some performance issues sometimes because of their size.

There's also recently been some drama about a mod in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com : https://lemmy.world/post/36059687

What do you guys think?
The main issue is that we could lose a lot of subscribers, since there isn't any migration function in lemmy yet. Some people may not see the post announcing a move, and not subscribe to the new community.

If you guys decide to move it, this community will be locked, and a post will be pinned to redirect people to the new community.

I'd also like some suggestions for what the new server could be.

  1. I don't really agree. LW controls too much of the communities on the fediverse.
  2. Fair, some stuff there is very overblown, but the Jordan Lund post is legitimate (at least in my opinion). I had been meaning to make posts like these before, but that post was the tipping point. I moved !iiiiiiitttttttttttt@lemmy.world when there was no active drama about LW.
  3. I explicitly asked other people to suggest what server it may be moved to. I personally don't think dbzer0 or AN is a good fit for a very generic community like this one.
