thank you. And god, yes. I’m glad to be out of that space.
Horrid vibes. Not sure why, but it reminds me of my 2016 stint on devientart

is this supposed to be some sort of own?

notice how these are downvoted to crap and you would have to actively seek them out to see them?

please add the word “rule” to your post title

we got a little silly. fortunately everything has pretty much been resolved. atp the activity is about 40% here, 30% 196 on blahaj and 30% onehundredninteysix on blahaj

this is an old profile picture that I’ve kept because lemmy.world keeps giving me a json error whenever I try to change it. also, the caption that is cut out in my profile picture is “white people when there’s cheese at the function” neither of these are relevant to what you just said but I’m glad you know now what you did not before

this is just straight up not the case

I’m sorry, but no. the only person I would hand over control to is Ada. despite her policy being cited as a reason for our transition, she’s an effective and consistent admin.

well originally the goal was just to seamlessly transfer things over to lemmy.world, posts and all. over the last few months we tested a couple possibilities with altering databases or using the bot api, but was decided that it wasn’t a feasible option.
what we then intended to do was migrate the community, and leave the previous one up as an archive.
seeing the reception that this decision has garnered, I think that we will leave it locked for a period of time so the people know where the community they are familiar with went.
after that point, there is a decision to be made.

Hi there, It’s me, the “power trippin’” mod. If anyone has any questions raised by this post, feel free to ask me and I’ll do my best to answer.

the lack of transparency is primarily due to not wanting to burn bridges with anyone. sometimes disagreements should stay private.

we use proton mostly because it’s the easiest to share an account overseas for free with. we didn’t really need anything fancy

yes, but our community is backed by the head admin. if we start having problems, I have a direct line to the top.

I wouldn’t be so sure. give it a few days to settle, then let me know how you’re feeling

while I do agree that it reduces instance diversity, due to the size of our community, many small instances were apprehensive about taking our community on. it is unfortunate that Lemmy.world is so centralized, but when it comes to a community of our size it is to our benefit

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.

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.

some longstanding issues with how blahaj.zone is run. I’ll elaborate more once the transfer settles down.

NOOOOOOO!!! FUCK!! NO!!

Tell me about it! After year of estrogen I had to give away all my old pants and now I never have anywhere to put my phone!
