    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 :(

    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.

    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.

    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.

      I didn’t hold a poll, because unlike other changes we’ve made to this community this does not affect our policy nor ethos. while the community is now being hosted on a different instance, we are running it exactly the same as we did on blahaj.zone.

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

        So you moved the community to another instance without any kind of community consultation (that I can see) and can’t even tell us why? The lack of transparency is a bit concerning.

          the lack of transparency is primarily due to not wanting to burn bridges with anyone. sometimes disagreements should stay private.

        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.

          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

          yes, but our community is backed by the head admin. if we start having problems, I have a direct line to the top.

    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! 🌈
