Also, lots of discussion under the announcement post in the new comm https://lemmy.world/post/24437552.

Omg the disparity is palpable.
The post you linked:
we are going to continue to moderate on this instance exactly the same as we did on blahaj.zone.
The "we've already left" style post on blahaj:
Why? That's a complicated question with a long answer! The primary difference is moderatorial and ideologial differences between my team and Ada's excellent team of admins...
Edit: so in asking whether the moderation will appear the same to the users, the answer is "well yes, except actually no".

I'm on LW and both communities seem empty. This usually indicates defederation, right?
-
No, that's something with your client. When I go to https://lemmy.world/c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com I see plenty of posts.

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date and jumping across communities/instances for this
-
You're welcome

Seems like they didn't get the memo that the entire point of coming here was to decentralize.
Then again /c/196 sucks so that's a fitting instance for them. Blahaj is marginally better.
-
I don’t fully understand this.
While having one big instance is not ideal, isn’t the idea that it should be easy to move once and if the big instance becomes draconian?
I thought the whole point of the fediverse was not to get locked into a walled garden and be able to decentralize as needed, ending up with a few big players is inevitable, no?
-
The issue here is that the community was doing well on one instance, then the mods decided to move without asking the community.

Okay yeah that’s a problem.
Mods have been weird lately, my comment got removed for using the R word, not retardant.
-
Convince the admins of the original instance to hand over the community on that instance to new mods, open it back up and let the old mods have their tantrum over on .world? Literally nothing requires there only be one community of a given name across all instances.

I've heard it's supposed to be ready to move, but I still haven't figured out the new "easy" way of moving my stuff to a new instance, at least on Voyager

Drag saw 196 mods mentioning their plan to move instances after Ada told them not to misgender trans people. "Ideological differences", huh? Wonder what that's code for
-
You did piss off a couple of powerusers dedicated to instance wars, but the mods are working to insist that's not what any of this is about.
-
In the past 15 hours drag has read a lot about why the mods did it. Apparently, they weren't closing reports on Blahaj, so Ada actioned them, and Ada was stricter with the rules than they liked.
When Ada said neopronouns aren't trolling, drag saw a lot of transphobic comments on 196 that the mods weren't removing. Drag was already banned from the community at that time and couldn't report them, so drag contacted Ada directly, and Ada removed them.
At that time, moving the community out of the instance was a "maybe". Perhaps neopronouns were the last straw. At the time, the 196 mods were saying they didn't agree with the removals and bans of transphobia and misgendering.

Fantastic use of that meme format
-
when i saw that announcement post i literally did a double take at my watch to make sure it wasn’t April Fool’s Day
like that’s how dumb this idea was i thought it was a joke at first
-
Btw does someone have some place where i can read what happened exactly?
-
self plug but people found this valuable: https://lemmy.cafe/post/12094663

Good thing I'm just chilling on https://lemmy.cafe/, it's pretty nice here :)
-
The fuck is 196 anyway? I've got the original in my block list and I genuinely can't remember why...
-
Shitposting? I guess?
The rule being that you gotta post something before you leave- doesn't really matter what. (Barring the usual hate/NSFW/etc.)
-
That explains it I guess. Come a slow news day and it'll be annoying as shit again.

Having so many communities concentrated in one instance is a problem
Having an architecture that locks communities to an instance is a problem. They should be distributed across the network with no notion of a home instance.
How would moderation work then?
That's just mastodon tags
Then you run into problems with instance admins disagreeing over moderation
They still to be attached to an instance at the protocol level. Or you have instances which are barely network components rather than communities, but that's not what ActivityPub is about
It's called a fediverse for a reason
Why?
Because then allowing flat-earthers affect all the communities: https://lemmy.world/post/24135976
Also huge delay with some instances
