  • Your comment makes sense. To be honest as they stated that everyone one was involved in the redaction of the last communication it seemed just easier to ask for a complete uphold of the team.

  • Oh, it is confusing indeed

  • Ye I know, it’s fucking bizarre. Every 6 months, a new reddit alternative comes up which doesn’t have apub and expects to get user by sheer charm or smt.

    Well put. It's a bit disheartening, because people put time and energy in those projects, that could be used to develop the existing open source platforms...

  • You're correct. On the other hand, Piefed is more or less usable today, and regularly gets updates. Sublinks hasn't had meetings or progress for over 6 months.

  • There are at least 4 or 5 forums on /r/Redditalternatives which could definitely benefit from ActivityPub, but they don't see the appeal.

    One of them even asks for people credit card information to avoid bots

  • Owning our shortcomings was the very reason we wrote this post. I thought we were pretty thorough, but if there’s something we missed that you’d like us to address, feel free to voice that here.

    Would you consider resigning, and transferring the community to the !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone mod team?

  • From your screenshot above, you can see a @lwadmin account. Could be a technical user non-admin staff can use to perform admin tasks.

  • Same here, but from the different feedback I guess I should change to something else

  • I think that they got out of Reddit, but they didn’t get Reddit out of themselves. They still behave like this was a Reddit-like monolithic platform; so when they see decentralisation - like multiple comms for the same topic, in different instances - they treat it as a bug, when it’s a feature.

    Maybe we should point them out to Discuit and their 181 weekly active users: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/NlAdOWAp

    Some people indeed don't seem to understand that if Lemmy has 43k monthly active users, it's thanks to the different instances and community. Would ml been a single forum, most of the people wouldn't have even registered. LW could have a decent following, but the regular debatable policy updates would have probably pushed people away.

  • I would too if I weren’t still waiting on my application to be read…

    Why haven't you posted to !main@lemmy.blahaj.zone to get that solved?

  • Put a user poll up about whether users want this community to be migrated to .world. Keep it up for a reasonable amount of time (say a week).

    I don't even get why locking the Blahaj version down should be an option. Mods can discuss opening another version of 196 elsewhere, but locking the current one down? Why?

  • Reports don't federate, you need a local account to see them.

    Seems like this mod never bothered setting one up.

  • The problem is federation, because it prevents us from seeing a complete log of the reports from any given instance.

    You don't see any reports from a non-local account.

    So perhaps if LBZ was the right instance to check reports from, it would have been super helpful for both parties if they accepted my application. I’m still waiting two years later.

    You never bothered to ask for support on !main@lemmy.blahaj.zone ? Admins could have solved that in a few hours.

    So you are telling us that even now you don't have a functional Blahaj account?

  • That mod has admin rights. Look at !carnivore@lemmy.world for evidence. They took over the community and locked it down, and removed the mods.

  • Damn, your arc keeps delivering
