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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (3 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?

One of those mods got removed last night

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

You’re trading off burning bridges against demonstrating that people can trust your judgement, which I think is essential if you expect people to migrate and prevent blowing up the community.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months 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
