this makes it more or less impossible to search for Communities with numbers in the name at least for me because they have random strings of numbers in the description.

As I pointed out in the thread it was probably a few Lemmy users themselves that did it.

Also I am curious, what's the easiest way to currently reach the admins in case this happens again somehow? Two of them on their account have been seemingly inactive for a month and as per your own statement you rarely check your notifications and dms. Is there a discord somewhere for it?

what steps are being taken to ensure it doesn't happen again? was any personal data compromised for users?

Looks like this thread is getting mass downvoted by bots btw

They weren't there yesterday besides the instance owner, someone inactive, and another admin.

I made a post asking about this too because it seemed a bit insanely barbaric to punish the active users who don't want to just move to another instance and solely want to use world.

" "we're keen to avoid unnecessary fragmentation for existing members and confusion for any newcomers."

ah yes because locking the entire community without anyone's knowledge and consent first isn't totally insane and like another certain platform we all left from."

Said post was also brigaded heavily so I deleted it since I got a lot of insanely nasty messages and snarky replies.

Honestly this just seems like people want another repeat of awkwardtheturtle I'm Gonna be real lmao

the big difference is Lemmy and other sites got popular now as a result of people finally realizing "wow the modernized internet is pretty much complete dogshit"

the only thing that's been basically different is people trying and rather unsuccessfully to create an alternative to the bigger sites. 9/10 most of them have failed, but with Lemmy considering how much and how dedicated the userbase has been so far.

My point was mostly "if Lemmy can be bought out" (which I really doubt) "then the internet is just blatantly fucked and there's not anywhere to go period."

Lemmy, which I'm currently using through liftoff seems like the best solution and has a rather dedicated userbase in general. I'm excited to be here but there's always the worry something could go wrong with it

If the Lemmy admins sides with people like zuck, which they shouldn't because they're literal communists I'm going to laugh so hard, internet would pretty much be fucked lol
