It is my pleasure to announce that effective immediately, we are transferring our community to Lemmy.world! This has been a few months in the making, so my entire mod team is already on board.
FAQ:
Why?
That’s a complicated question with a long answer! The primary difference is moderatorial and ideologial differences between my team and Alaskaball’s excellent team of admins. We are on good terms with Alaskaball and their team, and have gotten their consent to do this. In addition to this, the fact that a large portion of instances do not federate with badposting has caused our reach to be reduced, with many communities creating their own badpostings.
How does this work?
Currently, as there is not an easy way to transfer an entire community (trust me, we checked), we are locking the community as mod-only, and moving our focus to the badposting on lemmy.world. For you guys, functionally nothing has changed.
What about the posts?
Well, we tried to transfer them, but there was no real way to do so without absolutely destroying lemmy.world’s federation. For this reason, we are simply archiving this community as mod-only. Everything is staying up, you just won’t be able to post new content. Comments are still enabled, so we will continue to check our modlogs for some time after the transfer has settled.
As for the posts on lemmy.world’s badposting, we’re leaving those up too. From this point onwards, all posts made to that community are beholden to the rules you are all used to, but anything pre-existing is getting grandfathered in.
IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE PUT THEM IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS POST, AND I’LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM.
Once again, here’s the link to our new apartment of awesome. (universal: [email protected])
I think this is unfair, I am under-trained and have been brought up in the easy badposting environment of hexbear. I think it is unfair to expect our community to be able to make as bad of posts as .world. They were born in the reactionary hellscape, molded by it. By the time they saw the beanis they had already posted thousands of “ironic” reactionary and bad posts. We will be like lambs to the slaughter.
