I’m just happy to be here
please unlock !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
i want to keep posting on the real lemmy 196. yall do your thing here if u like, but leave me out of that
Ditto, I don’t support the move.
I want my trans-friendly community on my trans-friendly server, not .world
We’ll continue there without the current mod team.
.blahaj is a troll friendly community
Debatable. The dragonfucker story is very nuanced to me.
From my perspective, dragonfucker clearly came here to be a shit stir and cause chaos. However, it is important to still respect people’s requested gender pronouns. If you think someone’s gender pronouns request is too far-fetched, just don’t interact with / block that person.
I think banning this individual was the correct move, but misgendering anyone is not okay. Notice I’m avoiding pronouns altogether here to dodge the issue completely.
I’m not entirely up to date on what went down between the instance and the moderators of this community, but it’s clear communication broke down and this one person was able to create a chasm between the two.
What I do not like is the lack of communication on the moderators’ end, and it’s very clear that most 196 users do not agree with this move as it has not been properly explained, and moving to a large instance goes against the idea of decentralization.
Have you actually seen any of drag’s posts that people don’t like, or are you operating based on rumour?
Come on drag, you’re gonna pull a take like that and then wonder why you’re on their shit list? I know you’re off the wall, but come on dude.
Nazis deserve to be shot at.
Trans people shouldn’t commit suicide.
Welp, they did it. Just not really sure what happens now. I should hope some new members who are a bit more in touch with the community get appointed to the team.
This does not rule
Can someone tell me why we are moving and why I should care?
I’m too busy spamming shitposts to pay much attention.
Mods are power tripping.
Members of the current community moved to !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Yeah one mod decided she was the vocie of the entire community and decided trolls were more important than real users.
Good thing this place was able to escape her clutches lol
Yikes
Have you considered not trying to forcibly migrate a community from one instance to another (without community consensus), and instead building a community with its own merits?
People really don’t like it when a single mod decides to make decisions for the whole community without the support of the community.
That’s why i support taking 196 away from Ada’s control
Did Ada’s actions not have the support of the community or did they not have the support of the mod team? (different things)
Well considering she banned all dissenters it’s pretty hard to guage dissent.
If the initial rule change announcement is taken as a sample then more than half of those comments were removed, so based on that it doesn’t seem like Ada has the support of the real community, ahe just kicked out half the community.
All dissenters? Or do you just have a distorted view of things because you personally were banned?
If you expressed you did not agree with the decision your account was banned.
Was there any consultation with the community on this decision?
Nope
Why should there have been one?
Moss and the Modteam are the ones for whom instance swap changes the most, and as far as I know, they have been discussing this for a long time.
All “we” as users have to do is press the subscribe button.
“we” as users
They didn’t know they’re on the team at the time of comment
Nah they’re not new to the team
Feddit.de has been down for ages.
If you don’t ask the community first, then what you’re doing is not “moving the community”, it’s just abandoning the community and starting a new one
If you look in the other thread you’ll see there’s a bunch of community members (myself included) concerned that this decision signals a decline in the standards to which it is moderated. The moderator team has given assurances that this won’t happen, but that raises the question of why this change is even necessary.
Additionally there’s the concern that this decision will further centralise control over lemmy in a small number of instances.
Then there’s the fact that 196 is kinda redundant on .world given that multiple shitposting comms already exist there.
Furthermore, instead of locking down the existing community when they moved over here, the mod team could have appointed new members who don’t have a problem with the manner in which the blahaj lemmy instance is moderated. There’s clearly users who want to stay there, and some who won’t move over here.
I belive that only a small percentile of people really care about this.
If enough people are so angry then they will make their own community over at blahaj.zone and proof me wrong but if not, then I guess there probably wasn’t enough demand.
Being able to just leave and set up and run a Community the way you like it is the backbone and the biggest strength of the Fediverse!

The move to .world was not to cater to some demand, it was as far as I know, mostly because of disagreement with the instance Admin/ Owner.

They already have their community, it’s !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
This is part of the deal you make when joining a community with active mods, admins, and rules. Not everything is up for debate. I know firsthand that this can be quite frustrating sometimes, but we can’t act like everything else has always been subject to election up to this point. It simply was not.
And again:
Being able to just leave and set up and run a community the way you like it is the backbone and the biggest strength of the Fediverse!
Start a community and run it the way you like! Expand the Fediverse! Make a place truly your own! You can do that with an ease that was unheard of before. The only thing you can’t do is force people to act the way you want them to.

Perfect, and then the mods will lock it down and move to an instance I dislike.
There’s a reason !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com exists. One strength of the Fediverse is indeed that the community belong to the users.
You realize you would be the mod if you start a community, right?
Perfect, and then the mods will lock it down and move to an instance I dislike.
When you create a community, you are the mod of the community you created, and you can choose to move or stay. So I don’t know which mods you are talking about.
One strength of the Fediverse is indeed that the community belongs to the users.
Yes, by being able to leave and create your own community. You can even run your own instance, giving you total control over everything on it.
I belive [sic] that only a small percentile of people really care about this.
Maybe you’re right about that. But given how badly the post and most of the mods’ comments are getting ratio’d in that thread, I’m inclined to disagree.
Could be!
The only thing we can do is wait and see what happens. Maybe this 196 goes down and everyone moves to another. Maybe not. It’s always a question of, “Did it bother you enough to stop using it?” For me, the answer is “no.” Maybe for some, the answer is “yes.” I can’t tell.
Both asked their communities before moving. As respect and politeness towards their members.
Hey don’t say everything was perfect the way it went down. A heads up would have been nice for sure! But moss and the modteam did not broke any rules (that I’m aware of) by doing it this way, neither on blahaj.zone nor an lemmy.world.
You can see this other example on !android@lemmy.world
Okay? Thank you for showing me.
But what are you trying to tell me with this? That other People do something diffrent than others?
!android@lemmy.world ended up reopening after it was arbitrary closed to promote another community, without prior consultation, creating dissatisfaction among the users similar to what we are seeing here.
Hopefully this is what will happen here too.
Okay? Thank you for this insight into Lemmy history.
Hey so im just a lurker but im really worried about this move:
We all know Meta just allowed all sorts of vile anti lgbt posting on their platform so how do we know .world isn’t going that way?
You said you have a line to the top admin, is that Ruud who wants to federate with Threads, a Meta product that will allow transphobia against community members?
“Communities should not be overly moderated in order to enforce a specific narrative. Respectful disagreement should be allowed in a smaller proportion to the established narrative” - LW admins
Especially concerning since they are forcing communities to allow dissent, just like Meta, so TERFs can just roll up in this community and you have to allow them?
any and all terfs from threads or otherwise will be banned. if threads is added as a federated instance, we will simply add them to our list of probation instances in the rules alongside lemmygrad and hexbear. in addition, the way we run our community does not count as enforcing a narrative. because that rule does not apply to us, we do not have to deal with it.
wait, why not blahaj? I dont get it, it was well moderated there :(
There should have been more communication or a poll or something, lemmy world is not known for its clean moderation :(
it was well moderated there because of my excellent mod team, all of whom have migrated as well. we are going to continue to moderate on this instance exactly the same as we did on blahaj.zone.
So back to the question, why not blahaj?
There’s obviously a powermod who thinks she owns the instance, her actions are causing this division
This does not answer the question.
Choosing lemmy.world
In 2025
We have decided to move to a new exciting platform named Reddit
Of all the instances you chose .world? Yeah this party is probably dead
I wouldn’t be so sure. give it a few days to settle, then let me know how you’re feeling
Lemmy.world lmao
So why did we move here?
So why did *they move us here? I didn’t see any attempt at community input.
some longstanding issues with how blahaj.zone is run. I’ll elaborate more once the transfer settles down.
So you moved the community to another instance without any kind of community consultation (that I can see) and can’t even tell us why? The lack of transparency is a bit concerning.
the lack of transparency is primarily due to not wanting to burn bridges with anyone. sometimes disagreements should stay private.
You’re trading off burning bridges against demonstrating that people can trust your judgement, which I think is essential if you expect people to migrate and prevent blowing up the community.
Doesn’t world have the single most complained about mod team on Lemmy outside of ml and hexbear?
One of those mods got removed last night
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world, right?
yes, but our community is backed by the head admin. if we start having problems, I have a direct line to the top.
Aw, that’s a shame. I feel like it reduces instance diversity. With that said, I’m sure you have your reasons. I’m certainly not informed on the subject.
while I do agree that it reduces instance diversity, due to the size of our community, many small instances were apprehensive about taking our community on. it is unfortunate that Lemmy.world is so centralized, but when it comes to a community of our size it is to our benefit
No rule in title? Believe it or not, straight to ban!
fixed
My first reaction was “ew” and after reading into the reasons I still don’t agree but I respect it. I’m a bit thrown off by there not having been any discussion of this before if it has been “ongoing for months”, though I’m mostly a lurker and maybe I have just missed it.
It honestly looks and feels so wrong but fuck it we ball I guess.
I didn’t hold a poll, because unlike other changes we’ve made to this community this does not affect our policy nor ethos. while the community is now being hosted on a different instance, we are running it exactly the same as we did on blahaj.zone.
See now kids, that’s how the real ones like me do ban evasion.
Don’t go back to the place. Just wait till the place comes to you.
Yee i got perma’d from old 196 bc I dared to repost an article about election fraud that got deleted. Admitted it turned out to prob not be real, said I wouldn’t do it again, but nope, I said something against Trump so instant permaban straight from Ada. Good riddance :3
Busy modlog: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=1051855
Yee, I used this account a lot for venting frustrations in shitty toxic ways. I’m getting better and I’m trying not to be as shitty on here as I have been
Fyi, you were banned on 2024-10-07 due to these comments:
📞 yo i think its netanyahu callin, you gonna pick up or? Link
yes Link
This obviously has nothing to do with 2024 US presidential elections Link
Don’t worry, I’ll let the ban evasion slide 😉
I’m aware which of my comments contributed to me being banned, and I know everyone can see them, and I’m not afraid to say that I did nothing that would justify the permban.
Okay, I get it, these may be considered kind of xenophobic-ish-esque-uhh-not-really, but come on dudes. That’s just banter.
Yeah, it’s fine don’t worry about it
Same. I don’t even know why I was banned xD
🤔 can’t imagine why
spoiler
Thanks, the ban is back now
