Right now there are similarely named communities across the fediverse.
“fediverse@xxx”, “Linux@xxx”, “asklemmy”, “askkbin”…etc…
I’m on kbin and I’m having a hard time figuring out how to use the fediverse more productively, by reaching the largest amount of people for asking questions, solving problems, simply put: to engage… like I used to do on Reddit?
Why should we move when we were already fine with !android@lemmy.world and no one ever asked to move, just because the rogue mod’s imposter syndrome kicked in? And even then, whatever the reasons and even if it’s “just a few clicks away”, forcing this “merger” is simply wrong, barbaric and this is them treating us 19k members as a transferable commodity and even the rogue mod behind the closure publicly admitted that we should not have a say in this and that it’s his choice alone. You should definitely go over the context here to see that it is a hostile takeover: https://lemmy.world/comment/980033
Anyway, this is off-topic and the goal was just to point out that the example is not accurate given how the events unfolded and that we are trying to abort that forced “merger” right now.
This will happen again unless tools, culture, and conventions are made and taught in fediverse. Maybe communities having a certain mass should be subject to special rules, like irl.
That link just gives me a server error.
Idk, I think I’m just going to have to settle for not understanding, because nothing you’re saying makes sense to me. I personally just want content, and I don’t care where it comes from.
