would you mind explaining what this title+image+caption is supposed to mean? I’m not sure I understand

that’s ridiculous

not really. it had existed for a couple weeks unmoderated. no banner, icon, whatever

these rules have been our rules for over two years, with minimal changes. the request to add rule to your title has been there the whole time.

ohhhh

no need to ping me. I disagree.

?we did? for both of these communities??

haha you’re good. makes sense!

dude I get you’re pissed off at us but please chill. We haven’t removed anything you’ve posted because that goes against our ethos, but every single post or comment we make has had at least two paragraph-long fuming comments. Lay off it already. You got everything you wanted. You have your own community, and this one is reopened as well.

??? genuinely confused by what you mean. would you be willing to elaborate?

I don’t know how many times I have to reiterate that that’s not going to happen

if you look into my comment history and moderation history you will see that I have never had an issue with neopronouns. The narrative that we are doing this out of any form of queerphobia is false.

we aren’t stealing your community. the people who built and facilitated this community are the people who are migrating this community.

glad to hear it!

I did feel like we grew a little bit bigger than made sense on blahaj.zone. the instance feed was 90% our community and I could absolutely see that suffocating smaller ones trying to get started here.

it’s less that lemmy.world needs 196, and more that we think it is an instance that is well suited to host 196. this community is not one that is defined by the instance it is located on

that is exactly what is going on. I’d like to keep what happened behind closed doors behind closed doors. while, for example, publicizing my DMs would most likely give more substance to my arguments, it would burn bridges that I am unwilling and undesiring to burn.

not at all!!!

while I am still confident this is the right choice of instance to transfer to, i do think you are most likely right. if I had a do over, I would have made a poll before anouncing this. unfortunately at this point, I feel like it’s a little late in the game to do a 360.
