Hello everyone,

There has been some discussions lately about the moderation of some LW communities (see !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for details)

Which made me think that we currently don’t have any active LW mod, the only remaining one being @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev

So why would we not consider moving this community to another instance?

For people curious why moving the community to another instance would be beneficial:

  • LW has a 7-days delay with instances like aussie.zone (https://feddit.uk/post/18336398)
  • Having most of the instances on LW give a lot of power to the LW admins and mods, while spreading them out could be more ideal from a power distribution perspective
  • Previous communities have already migrated successfully, like !casualconversation@lemmy.world

Instances option

Alternatively, https://lemmy.zip/ is very well run

They regularly post very detailed updates on !home@lemmy.zip such as this one: https://lemmy.zip/post/27236300

They also offer very detailed information on those pages:

    I upvoted in the straw poll comment, but just adding in my two cents here where it feels appropriate.

    I’m of the same mind regarding the recent mod controversy. That alone doesn’t really influence my thoughts on a community moving, I generally think that such an issue would prompt users to change their home instance.

    I’m firmly in the “move instances because .world is a huge, centralized instance in a decentralized ecosystem” camp.

    I mostly just consume content here and don’t actively post, so treat my opinion on the matter accordingly. Will resubscribe to the new community when/if it moves regardless, and will stay subbed if it stays here.
