WELCOME TO THE NEW HOME OF RULE

wait, why not blahaj? I dont get it, it was well moderated there :(
There should have been more communication or a poll or something, lemmy world is not known for its clean moderation :(
- it was well moderated there because of my excellent mod team, all of whom have migrated as well. we are going to continue to moderate on this instance exactly the same as we did on blahaj.zone.
  
  So back to the question, why not blahaj?
  
  This does not answer the question.

Choosing lemmy.world
In 2025
- We have decided to move to a new exciting platform named Reddit

please unlock !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
i want to keep posting on the real lemmy 196. yall do your thing here if u like, but leave me out of that
- Ditto, I don't support the move.
  I want my trans-friendly community on my trans-friendly server, not .world
  We'll continue there without the current mod team.
  
  .blahaj is a troll friendly community
- Welp, they did it. Just not really sure what happens now. I should hope some new members who are a bit more in touch with the community get appointed to the team.

Of all the instances you chose .world? Yeah this party is probably dead
- I wouldn't be so sure. give it a few days to settle, then let me know how you're feeling
  
  Its been a few days, how are YOU feeling?

Lemmy.world lmao

Was there any consultation with the community on this decision?
- Nope
- Why should there have been one?
  Moss and the Modteam are the ones for whom instance swap changes the most, and as far as I know, they have been discussing this for a long time.
  All "we" as users have to do is press the subscribe button.
  
  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.
  
  !casualconversation@lemmy.world
  !football@lemmy.world
  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
  
  "we" as users

Have you considered not trying to forcibly migrate a community from one instance to another (without community consensus), and instead building a community with its own merits?
- People really don't like it when a single mod decides to make decisions for the whole community without the support of the community.
  That's why i support taking 196 away from Ada's control
  
  Did Ada's actions not have the support of the community or did they not have the support of the mod team? (different things)

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

No rule in title? Believe it or not, straight to ban!
- fixed

Yikes

- any and all terfs from threads or otherwise will be banned. if threads is added as a federated instance, we will simply add them to our list of probation instances in the rules alongside lemmygrad and hexbear. in addition, the way we run our community does not count as enforcing a narrative. because that rule does not apply to us, we do not have to deal with it.

This does not rule

My first reaction was "ew" and after reading into the reasons I still don't agree but I respect it. I'm a bit thrown off by there not having been any discussion of this before if it has been "ongoing for months", though I'm mostly a lurker and maybe I have just missed it.
It honestly looks and feels so wrong but fuck it we ball I guess.
- I didn't hold a poll, because unlike other changes we've made to this community this does not affect our policy nor ethos. while the community is now being hosted on a different instance, we are running it exactly the same as we did on blahaj.zone.

See now kids, that's how the real ones like me do ban evasion.
Don't go back to the place. Just wait till the place comes to you.
- Fyi, you were banned on 2024-10-07 due to these comments:
  📞 yo i think its netanyahu callin, you gonna pick up or? Link
  yes Link
  This obviously has nothing to do with 2024 US presidential elections Link
  Don't worry, I'll let the ban evasion slide 😉
  
  I'm aware which of my comments contributed to me being banned, and I know everyone can see them, and I'm not afraid to say that I did nothing that would justify the permban.
  Okay, I get it, these may be considered kind of xenophobic-ish-esque-uhh-not-really, but come on dudes. That's just banter.
- Yee i got perma'd from old 196 bc I dared to repost an article about election fraud that got deleted. Admitted it turned out to prob not be real, said I wouldn't do it again, but nope, I said something against Trump so instant permaban straight from Ada. Good riddance :3
  
  Busy modlog: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=1051855
- Same. I don't even know why I was banned xD
  
  🤔 can't imagine why ::: spoiler spoiler
  :::

As a long time community member, I hope .world doesn't defederate from .ml. This instance has always been "reddity". This community has always been one of my favorites. I'd hate to lose it.

hmmm

Can someone tell me why we are moving and why I should care?
I'm too busy spamming shitposts to pay much attention.
- Mods are power tripping.
  Members of the current community moved to !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone
  
  Yeah one mod decided she was the vocie of the entire community and decided trolls were more important than real users.
  Good thing this place was able to escape her clutches lol

Why did you migrate?

I just happened to see this sub in local and joined. Glad to be here regardless!

Hello
- Hello
  
  Hello

🎉🎊

I see you're getting a lot of criticism so I felt the need to say I support the decision.
The idea behind Lemmy is that users can be a part of any instance they want and not be a part of any instance they don't. The same communities can exist on multiple instances and users can subscribe to all of them, some of them, or none of them. Mods are users too so I see no shame in instance hopping. As a user of Lemmy.ca, literally nothing changes for me besides the words after the "@"
To emphasize how little things changed for me, I was actually already subscribed to this community before the announcement was made. I will continue to stay subscribed to the other community on lemmy.blahaj.zone as well. Nothing has changed for me and my subscribed feed.
- I will continue to stay subscribed to the other community on lemmy.blahaj.zone as well.
  The place the mods said would be taking to "mod only" and thus effectively closed and useless for everyone?
  
  Instance admins have total control over the communities on their instance. The admin can appoint themselves or anyone else as a moderator and unlock the community, so there's a chance there will be more posts. If not, that's fine too! I'm subscribed to a fair amount of communities that are no longer active. It doesn't change anything as I scroll through my subscription feed!
- If they dont want to be mods under a specific instance, thats fine. Whats not fine announcing the community will be archived and locked, move to (insert instance here) for this community going forward, with functionally zero warning or even a damned poll about it
  
  You can create your own community on lemmy.blahaj.zone! There's nothing preventing you from doing that. Lemmy is designed specifically for this scenario. If you do create one, I'd subscribe to it! It doesn't matter to me where the content is coming from as long as it's content I like. I'll subscribe to a dozen versions of 196. Nothing changes for me.

I, for one, welcome this move.

I've just read the other Post at blahaj.zone and now I want to give you (and your team) some encouragement!
Lots of People are upset but I'm not one of them. I like 196 for the Vibes and the memes not the Instance. Some People act like the Instance was THE THING why people subscribed. And (at least for me) it was not. It was literally the only Community (I'm aware of) I subscribed to on blahaj.zone.
And I also agree with you that some Moderation decisions were a bit.... Questionable.
Keep up the good work and don't let the other Folks drag you down, there is always grumbling when things change! 🌈
- That's gold ha ha
  
  Afaik he was added later but yes, it does look really weird
  
  they were already a mod on lemmy.blahaj.zone
- thanks! I agree with a lot of what you said
