So back to the question, why not blahaj?

This does not answer the question.

If you look in the other thread you'll see there's a bunch of community members (myself included) concerned that this decision signals a decline in the standards to which it is moderated. The moderator team has given assurances that this won't happen, but that raises the question of why this change is even necessary.

Additionally there's the concern that this decision will further centralise control over lemmy in a small number of instances.

Then there's the fact that 196 is kinda redundant on .world given that multiple shitposting comms already exist there.

Furthermore, instead of locking down the existing community when they moved over here, the mod team could have appointed new members who don't have a problem with the manner in which the blahaj lemmy instance is moderated. There's clearly users who want to stay there, and some who won't move over here.

Both asked their communities before moving. As respect and politeness towards their members.

If you don't ask the community first, then what you're doing is not "moving the community", it's just abandoning the community and starting a new one

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

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.

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.
