WELCOME TO THE NEW HOME OF RULE : 196

[+] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world -12 points 6 days ago (19 children)

I've just read the other Post at blahaj.zone and now I want to give you (and your team) some encouragement!

Lots of People are upset but I'm not one of them. I like 196 for the Vibes and the memes not the Instance. Some People act like the Instance was THE THING why people subscribed. And (at least for me) it was not. It was literally the only Community (I'm aware of) I subscribed to on blahaj.zone.

And I also agree with you that some Moderation decisions were a bit.... Questionable.

Keep up the good work and don't let the other Folks drag you down, there is always grumbling when things change! 🌈

wait, why not blahaj? I dont get it, it was well moderated there :(

There should have been more communication or a poll or something, lemmy world is not known for its clean moderation :(

Choosing lemmy.world

In 2025

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 71 points 1 week ago

We have decided to move to a new exciting platform named Reddit

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 67 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Of all the instances you chose .world? Yeah this party is probably dead

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 60 points 1 week ago

Lemmy.world lmao

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 60 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Was there any consultation with the community on this decision?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 week ago

Nope

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Have you considered not trying to forcibly migrate a community from one instance to another (without community consensus), and instead building a community with its own merits?

So why did we move here?

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 38 points 1 week ago

So why did *they move us here? I didn't see any attempt at community input.

[–] moss@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (5 children)

some longstanding issues with how blahaj.zone is run. I'll elaborate more once the transfer settles down.

Doesn't world have the single most complained about mod team on Lemmy outside of ml and hexbear?

[–] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One of those mods got removed last night

Aw, that’s a shame. I feel like it reduces instance diversity. With that said, I’m sure you have your reasons. I’m certainly not informed on the subject.

[–] moss@lemmy.world -4 points 6 days ago

while I do agree that it reduces instance diversity, due to the size of our community, many small instances were apprehensive about taking our community on. it is unfortunate that Lemmy.world is so centralized, but when it comes to a community of our size it is to our benefit

No rule in title? Believe it or not, straight to ban!

My first reaction was "ew" and after reading into the reasons I still don't agree but I respect it. I'm a bit thrown off by there not having been any discussion of this before if it has been "ongoing for months", though I'm mostly a lurker and maybe I have just missed it.

It honestly looks and feels so wrong but fuck it we ball I guess.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 12 points 1 week ago (9 children)

See now kids, that's how the real ones like me do ban evasion.

Don't go back to the place. Just wait till the place comes to you.

As a long time community member, I hope .world doesn't defederate from .ml. This instance has always been "reddity". This community has always been one of my favorites. I'd hate to lose it.

[–] clickyello@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

hmmm

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago

Why did you migrate?

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I just happened to see this sub in local and joined. Glad to be here regardless!

I see you're getting a lot of criticism so I felt the need to say I support the decision.

The idea behind Lemmy is that users can be a part of any instance they want and not be a part of any instance they don't. The same communities can exist on multiple instances and users can subscribe to all of them, some of them, or none of them. Mods are users too so I see no shame in instance hopping. As a user of Lemmy.ca, literally nothing changes for me besides the words after the "@"

To emphasize how little things changed for me, I was actually already subscribed to this community before the announcement was made. I will continue to stay subscribed to the other community on lemmy.blahaj.zone as well. Nothing has changed for me and my subscribed feed.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I will continue to stay subscribed to the other community on lemmy.blahaj.zone as well.

The place the mods said would be taking to "mod only" and thus effectively closed and useless for everyone?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Instance admins have total control over the communities on their instance. The admin can appoint themselves or anyone else as a moderator and unlock the community, so there's a chance there will be more posts. If not, that's fine too! I'm subscribed to a fair amount of communities that are no longer active. It doesn't change anything as I scroll through my subscription feed!

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

If they dont want to be mods under a specific instance, thats fine. Whats not fine announcing the community will be archived and locked, move to (insert instance here) for this community going forward, with functionally zero warning or even a damned poll about it

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (30 children)

You can create your own community on lemmy.blahaj.zone! There's nothing preventing you from doing that. Lemmy is designed specifically for this scenario. If you do create one, I'd subscribe to it! It doesn't matter to me where the content is coming from as long as it's content I like. I'll subscribe to a dozen versions of 196. Nothing changes for me.

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I don't get why people are so angry. I was subscribed to 196 for the Vibes and The memes not because it is on a specific instance. .__.

I, for one, welcome this move.
