Hi, I’ve reciprocated on ObscureMusic. Whilst I’m here I’d also like to note a typo you’ve made in your last link. “70’s music” is listed again for 90smusic. It’s also on your sidebar too.

Sure, you’re not the only one. But I would suspect most people didn’t care.

With all due respect, by “people” it’s just you. Yeah, some others in here have expressed discontent at this but they did it with a single comment, or moved on by now. Out of however many were actually pinged, it’s probably not a notable amount of the overall.

I’d like to add that despite me not really seeing this as an issue, I didn’t actually set this up. I was aware of it possibly happening, and saw no problem with it (I didn’t know how it would look when/if it did happen - it could’ve been done via DM for all I knew). But that goes my involvement in it. And no, the instance of “community completely changing url and moving” is practically the only instance in which I would ever not mind or support something like this, so it won’t be happening for just any future or hypothetical pinned post.

I’m not inclined to be told what to do, as you so object to yourself when you believed you were being ordered about.

It’s just a community notification, not some seedy product or some con or scam. It was always meant as a one-off thing (that’s apparently been done before anyway by the same guy to zero issues for another community migration).

As I said, I’m not telling you to do anything. You don’t want to subscribe, don’t subscribe. You just got caught up on the mail-list because you at some point posted here (in the last X months). It’s done now. It won’t happen again.

I genuinely don’t get why someone’s notifications are so sacred to them to this extent. This was a one-off event that was done purely to get people migrating over to the new community. Which it seems to have done. Some people aren’t bothered by it, presumably because they did subscribe here.

That was the post on this thread, not the notification that was sent out. The notification just says “Automated migration notification” (and then a list of names). Are you of the opinion that the very announcement in this community is in fact trying to dictate to people that they must subscribe to the new community?

It wasn’t /telling/ you to do anything. It was just a “hey, if you’re interested”. That’s it. Ideally Lemmy would have a function native for community migration but this is the next best thing.

Please do not assume that everyone who ever made a drive-by comment on one of your posts that reached the front page is someone who wants to subscribe to your new community, and absolutely don’t come in my inbox to instruct me to go to a community based on the authority of some vote I wasn’t in. I wasn’t the one making your community lively, it was the people creating engaging posts.

Unfortunately, the bot or script can’t ping by subscribers. So it did the next best thing: comments. It’s not telling anyone to do anything.

It’s only a one-off notification, dear me.

Most people won’t see a pinned post if they’re not actively browsing that instance at the time. Sure, some will, but not many depending on the community size.

It scraped comments, not subscribers. You commented here before.

Correct. There’s movies for that. It’s split into movies and television.

The television community on lemmy.world is shut down

We’re consolidating.

Yes. It’s for TV

If you don’t like the direction of a movie or show, you can just watch something else. There is an entire caustic critic industry based around complaining about Disney. It is sad.

The level of utter derangement people have over mainstream cinema (marvel, star wars, franchise, action slop, disney remakes) being ‘tainted’ by a raceswap, or being ‘woke’ in some way is off the scales.

There are genuinely people crying themselves to sleep over the perceived quality of the entertainment equivalent of happy meals. There’s an entire caustic critic industry over it. It’s honestly pathetic how so many people have MCU Derangement syndrome.
