  • I’m familiar with the community. And I don’t know what you mean by “innocent,” but given the context I think you might mean “not depressed.” If that’s the case, I know the struggles of depression all too well. Doesn’t change that someone, you or someone else reading, might need to hear it.







  • This is a similar situation with what happened over on Reddit. 196 mods didn’t agree with admins and were eventually replaced (difference here is that we were not forced out, but chose to leave). As Lemmy was a large gathering spot for people fleeing Reddit, we felt it was better to try to keep the community together and move together. Having another team take over splits the community. The more fragmentation there is, the less longevity and volume of community each skew will have.

    Translation: “We were scared the majority wouldn’t follow us to Lemmy world unless we pseudo forced them to, and we can’t imagine life without our fiefdom.”
