Seems like everything is set

  • new community
  • new mods
  • activity on the community

How do people feel about getting [email protected] ? Mods over there don’t really seem cooperative, but it’s not like it matters that much now?

    I’m so glad this all worked out so smoothly. Whatever happens next, it makes me so happy to see that this community handled a difficult situation so well in so little time. That’s definitely a good sign :3

      It’s quite reassuring about Lemmy and federation in general. Power tripping mods? Just move elsewhere in a few hours!

        That’s true, but what really impresses me is that the “new” 196 gained so much traction so quickly. Creating a new community is one thing, but so many people were immediately on board because they didn’t like what the mods did to the “old” 196. Nobody was willing to take the mods’ shit and that’s very cool.

        The mods of [email protected] wanted to move the community over to lemmy.world without asking the users. They literally locked down the community and made a post saying “We moved.” That didn’t land well, [email protected] was created and quickly grew to a respectable size because lots of people wanted to stay on blahaj. The mods of the original 196 backed down and reopened the old community, but I don’t know what’s gonna happen next. Trust in the mods has been broken by that, though.
