Totally fine to have KDE set up aesthetically as you please.

They like how gnome looks, not as much how it works.

Maybe a battery powered hammer and a 6" nail? Probably a lot faster, though more holes would be needed.

Need more info to make this math happen…

I’d assume it depends on how many holes per battery charge and how many batteries you can carry.

Its possible.

But here’s the thing - there is no way to know for sure. Clearly, none of them resigned on hearing about it, so at some level they are onboard.

Also, at no point in any of these months-long internal discussions did any of these folks say “Hey, this isn’t right, people need to be informed of what we are thinking and why”, or “I can’t agree to this, I’m going to post about it and resign”.

So I still think all of them should resign. Going along with a terrible decision is not, IMO, any better.

Really? All of them?

According to the mod team, they were all in on this decision.

So all of them makes sense to me.

LBZ has more strict rules about behavior, while Lemmy.world is much more lax (in some cases, in others they take a hard right turn, but mostly irrelevant for this part).

By going to .world, the mods are saying that is the admin level ruleset/moderation they support, specifically because the mod team said they consider Ada to be “heavy handed”.

.world tends to have a lot more of the problematic userbase, in part due to its size.

On LBZ, the users would have the benefit of both moderation by the community mods, as well as the rules of LBZ and its admin team (I’m sure there are folks who help Ada in some way, sorry but I dont know who they are).

On .world, those additional rules/protections are gone, and a recent announcement (which has since been crossed out with a “new announcement clarifying” message) basically said you have to engage with trolls, and its OK for users to be awful. As you can imagine, this didn’t go over well, and yet they are still moving forward just with text edits based on what they’ve said so far.

This is a huge change in rules for the community at large, as well as an increased risk - from appearing in the local feed in addition to all or subscribed - in .world users who are problematic getting involved in discussions on 196. With the change in instance level rules, in combination with the mod team wanting more lax rules about behavior, means more exposure to those problematic folks.

The point of federation is that the means of management is distributed and localized, and anyone (capable of running an instance) can make their own and interact with the other instances.

Locally, administration matters.

For example, I had a .world account. I moved to db0 because .world made it clear their admins were amateur lawyers, db0’s administration style and rules align with me (among other things, but irrelevant here), so I moved.

I could have seen a lot of the same content on .world, but not all (federation with specific instances is optional after all), but the .world admins behavior mattered to me. db0’s approach matters to me, as Ada’s does to the many on lbz.

For me, it was a great decision to leave .world, and I’m quite happy where I am. That, to me, is the point of the fediverse. I can change instances to get away from their administration, and still get all the content.

Hope this made sense and wasn’t just a garbled mess of early morning ADHD.

The primary issue that incited this was because we don’t fully agree with the admin’s moderation policies.

Clearly the community does though.

Which means the community is perfectly happy to continue on blahaj, its you, as the mod team, that aren’t aligning with the community.

As someone who enjoys 196 (but only really participates by voting), I would just say that since you aren’t aligning with the community, this isn’t a community you should be moderating.

Make the !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone mods the mods of !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone and move on.

Probably where I’ll go next, I have until the end of February and then my business will be elsewhere.

Since I set up some family at the same time, I’ll be doing it for a few accounts.
