I got the announcement via my Skiff mail. I went to get on their Discord to see what was up, but it's gone. They nuked it.

The man has had a career any other actor would sign away their soul for. Legend.
Wow. This is a lot.
First off, I want to thank all the devs, admins, and mods, for all the time they have put in on Beehaw. I cannot even begin to fathom what you folks go through and the time you have put in to give us this space. All I can give you is a few bucks and my heartfelt appreciation.
Now to the heart of the matter (now I've got that Don Henley tune in my head.): If the developers of Lemmy are not serious about mod tools, then yeah, time to book. Moderation is kind of a no-brainer when it comes to running a successful community, especially one built on the vision and values established here at Beehaw. If we have to go with a non-FOSS solution for a bit, I'm down, as long as the spirit of this space remains intact. That is non-negotiable to me. I'm so done with mainstream social media, that if anything happened to this space, I'd just settle for my Firefish account, and just be done with everything else. Hell, I may just retreat to Discord where a bunch of my gaming buddies are.
But as long as long as Beehaw exists in some form, I'm there.
I can't uninstall the Facebook app from my phone (not unless I use ADB), so it's disabled. I uninstalled Messenger. I pinned a post on my FB page that said if people needed to contact me they can email me or text me. I have posted about why folks should leave these platforms until I am blue in the face. If they want to make the switch, they will. If they want to reach out, they will.
Eventually, I want to get an unlocked phone, load a custom ROM, and tell the big platforms to fuck off. I resent how difficult they have made that, and I resent how complacent we have become because of it.
Agreed. And Feinstein barely knows what's going on. Pelosi and the establishment dems are just using her to keep a seat. It's freaking elder abuse, at least in her case.
Even if I had a stupid amount of money, there's no way in hell I would pay someone to stuff me inside what seems to be an over-sized propane tank, then send me to depths where the water pressure is so extreme it will literally crush you.
Just...no.
"Then only consider if there is a very good reason."
Like money?
And with this kind of cooperation and outreach, the Fediverse will be that much better! Thank you to all parties involved for communicating and working together!
Growth comes with growing pains. Sometimes those growing pains mean making tough decisions. I see this decision as thinking of the long game, and I'm fine with that.
I have a separate account at Lemmy.world, and I can log into that if I want, but honestly, I've been enjoying my time here more. There are still some aspects of federation that I haven't gotten my head around, but I'm trying to learn.
Anyhoo, thanks to our admins/moderators for your transparency. It's very much appreciated.
I told one of my friends that Walz looks like the kind of guy that if he came over to your house, he'd find something to fix.
