  4. Memes should not be personal attacks towards other users
  5. We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
    • Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.

Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I'm out, I think.

Good thing about the Fediverse is that, even on an instance you aren’t a huge fan of, the rest of the Fediverse mostly still works. You can hang out on some other instance, and it doesn’t really matter.

This is the one thing that’s felt “different” than my other web adventures.

I’m very worried about the Fediverse’s health, but I think that aspect is good.

Yeah, as a user, it's great to have options. If I was just an ordinary user, this probably wouldn't even faze me. I'd hop over to Piefed.ca or something.

Unfortunately, I run several large comms who I managed to just about get to functioning without me...

... three times, so far, just before having to migrate and start the process all over again.

I don't know. Maybe I'll feel different in a few months. But the effort seems Sisyphean at this point. If I do it again, will I just be moving them again in a year's time? Fuck that. The gods can keep their punishment.

I've considered moving from lemmy.world a few times (including to piefed), and in hindsight I'm glad I didn't.

lemmy.world is ugly and basic... but so am I. :/

It just worked when I started and it still just works.
