mine is just full of memes which I can’t find any other active communities tbh
stop giving an end date to your strikes for fuck sake
Looks like this thread is getting mass downvoted by bots btw
Lemmy in general or just world?
found awkwardtheturtle’s alt lol
The admins are very hands off when it comes to World so I personally doubt they’d make that big of a decision unless it’s something important like they’re discussing with the recent big android debate with that community.
the instance owners only real statement on it was just curious why people didn’t think it was a good idea, so I really doubt they came to a decision that quickly.

"i think it’s more that the mods involved do not want to fracture the Android community on purpose - "
them splitting off into another community totally isn’t going to fracture the community and cause others to make a bunch of other communities. That’s a poor argument.
@AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world if you’re interested we could just make a new community if the old one isn’t going to be opened, I’d be down to mod it.
I can understand that instead of the others commenting, but I don’t really agree with the idea of them arbitrarily deciding they can do whatever they want with the community and punish the users who weren’t aware of that and don’t want to move and or check to another place.
Seems a bit barbaric and awkwardtheturtle esk imo to just do a bunch of stuff without asking the community if they’d like to switch, they just decided “no we’re going to close and you’re gonna like it” essentially lol
“I don’t get why are you so upset. It’s not a big deal.”
first off I’m not? I’m just confused why the entire modteam just refused to get everyone’s input and did what they wanted anyway which is why people left reddit in the first place.
Second, it’s not convenient to just close a community without anyone’s knowledge and punish the users who don’t want to move so suddenly.
I made a post asking about this too because it seemed a bit insanely barbaric to punish the active users who don’t want to just move to another instance and solely want to use world.
" “we’re keen to avoid unnecessary fragmentation for existing members and confusion for any newcomers.”
ah yes because locking the entire community without anyone’s knowledge and consent first isn’t totally insane and like another certain platform we all left from."
Said post was also brigaded heavily so I deleted it since I got a lot of insanely nasty messages and snarky replies.
Honestly this just seems like people want another repeat of awkwardtheturtle I’m Gonna be real lmao

the big difference is Lemmy and other sites got popular now as a result of people finally realizing “wow the modernized internet is pretty much complete dogshit”
the only thing that’s been basically different is people trying and rather unsuccessfully to create an alternative to the bigger sites. 9/10 most of them have failed, but with Lemmy considering how much and how dedicated the userbase has been so far.
My point was mostly “if Lemmy can be bought out” (which I really doubt) “then the internet is just blatantly fucked and there’s not anywhere to go period.”
Lemmy, which I’m currently using through liftoff seems like the best solution and has a rather dedicated userbase in general. I’m excited to be here but there’s always the worry something could go wrong with it
Ye, they made an announcement recently they fixed a bunch of shit
If the Lemmy admins sides with people like zuck, which they shouldn’t because they’re literal communists I’m going to laugh so hard, internet would pretty much be fucked lol
you don’t have to put hashtags lol this isn’t Twitter
