Hey, sorry - I've been taking taking a short break from Lemmy for the last couple of weeks.
I'm personally in favor of keeping it here. I think the stability and longevity of the community here outweighs the decentralizing benefits of uprooting.
Thanks for responding.
I think I'll keep it here for now.
I don't know how well that ping is gonna work, they haven't posted in a month
I created. !dullsters@dullsters.net to help decentralize I still keep !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world active though since it's still popular.
No
Why not?
- It's fine where it's at?
- YPTB is a cesspool of drama blown out of proportion / "look at me, I'm such a victim!!". Last time I looked (I blocked that community), it was mostly just a bunch of frequent flyers not realizing they're the problem being circle-jerked in the comments by other people who are frequently and properly modded. To make a decision to move based on that, especially given the provided post is from someone who always seems to be involved in some kind of drama + a mod who gets a regular 15 minutes of hate over nothing (and people flat-out making up narratives to make them the victim) seems like a flimsy excuse.
- Looking at your alts, the most likely candidate instances for the new community would be dbzer0 or anarchist nexus, both of which I've blocked and neither of which I particularly like (blocked them for a reason).
- It'll add yet another dead community to the community list that looks like "[Closed - moved to....]
If you want to make a new community elsewhere, go for it. But instead of closing this one, find someone else to take it over.
- I don't really agree. LW controls too much of the communities on the fediverse.
- 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.
- 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.
