!freesoftware@lemmy.zip

As you might be aware, lemmy.world has gotten absolutely massive. I know some see that as a benefit but for me it feels very dangerous. If something were to happen to lemmy.world it could potentially destroy lemmy/kbin. Therefore I am moving this community to lemmy.zip.

I see you're moving c/linuxquestions, too. Any others we should know about?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No not really. Are you upset about this? I can't tell tone from a comment.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No, it's a reasonable idea and I'm supportive of it. I was just wondering if there were any Free Software-related subs other than those two that I need to re-subscribe to on lemmy.zip.
