Bummer.
Yeah I messaged back and forth with him a little and he really wants something unaffiliated with everything so that they don't have any ToS to agree to or have changed on them. Maybe when they get settled somewhere we can have a post linking a few other parts of the general community outside of lemmy
That sounds like they don't understand Lemmy more than anything. Hosting their own instance would solve that just like any other software, but with the added benefit of federation for a wider reach. Their own "reddit style" website that they set the TOS/rules/whatever on, and communicate with the rest of the Fediverse if so desired.
Oh well I guess. I wish them luck wherever they land.
I hope they warm up to lemmy, I tried to explain they would beasically be running their own website just with the perk of being linked to other communities. And I hope they do change their minds because fragmenting the community isn't really good for anyone.
