MODERATORS
I sure fuckin hope not, lemmy.world admins and mods are generally even more incompetent than the others.
Agreed, moving 196 to .world is a terrible idea.
I've had some bad run-ins with Lemmy.world mods, certainly, but the admins seem overall fine, if amateurish. They generally take into account feedback and try to provide the full rundown of any actions taken. When one of the admins crossed a line of participation/moderation/administration in the recent vegan cats debacle, they chose to clarify and have the admin admit wrongdoing.
Far from perfect, but they're tolerable.
Mods are one thing, users are another. Didn't the vegans leave because users kept coming in and ignoring community guidelines, then go around the mods to disregard the community guidelines not because they care about animals but because they don't like vegans? The dog pile was pretty gross from what I remember. None of the meta discussions focused on mod behavior; all of them were anti vegan circle jerks.
I pretty distinctly remember the vegans leaving because their primary complaint was about the admin taking action.
The thing I did was make an alt on Lemmy.vg and subscribe to all the vegan comms, hopefully LW will assign a vegan admin to help assist the vegan communities on the instance.
Well first of all there should probably be a pinned poll about whether 196s subscribers and users actually want to move. After that if people actually think its necessary to move, you can make a pinned poll about suggestions for a new instance.
By "asap" I didn't mean any minute now. :p Rest assured we wouldn't make such a big change without at least telling you guys outside of a comment on a random post. And I agree a poll would be a good idea.
And apparently I was mistaken about some things, so I've deleted my comment. Until further notice, just disregard what I said. Any major changes to 196 will be announced by the other mods, probably through a sticky post.
Edit: Since I deleted the last post I'll clarify here, too, that we weren't making any major changes due to the neopronouns thing. It was just something I saw being discussed a good while ago and assumed it was still underweigh.
