[meta] The anime instance, ani.social, has been defederated by lemmy.ml - eviltoast

Those of you that have your account on lemmy.ml may want to consider moving to another instance if you still want to be able to access ani.social.

    hope I’m not misinterpreting but wouldn’t staying on lemmy.ml only delay a potential recurrence of problems?

    cause what’s stopping the admins from nuking the anime community if they’ve already chosen to defed from ani.social?

    tbh to me it makes the most sense to migrate the community to ani.social as they were the community that was unreasonably impacted from this decision

    this kinda looks like a reddit situation again

      You’re not wrong and I think that is exactly what chaorace’s reply to me in that thread is worried about. Frankly this situation is really unfortunate and I don’t have a good answer.

        yeaa that’s totally fair, this shit sucks

        with weighing longterm pros vs cons personally I’d still try and convince the community to transfer over as:

        • the risk for staying on lemmy.ml seems too high
        • hitagi seems to be trying their best to fix this with no fault of their own
        • moving would send a message that fucking with communities with illogical reasoning would not be in the devs best interests

          Communities on the fediverse aren’t beholden to a single instance as well. If .ml admins can’t come to agreement to refederate, y’all should contact the shinobu bot dev to start including links to ani-social discussions on this instance, and petition mods of this community to do something to help that transition (what that is? I dunno).

          That said, I’m saying this having read these comments but not the og post. idk what the actual context to the conversation is, nor validity of the defederation, I’m just pro-democracy.

          I of course can’t speak on behalf of N3DSdude, but I’m in support of whatever the community wants to happen, happening. Just give us reason to believe it’s actually a significant portion of the community please
