It’s a tough decision.

There’s a target on the collective back of Lemmy, its developers and this instance. Rooting out these issues early is part of it. One of my first recommendations to @ruud@lemmy.world was to start putting aside contribution dollars from donors for a legal fund to manage liabilities like this. This decision is just solid management and avoiding issues well ahead of time.

I wish the admins well. And for those who have had their communities ‘snipped’ from being connected to Lemmy.world, I hear you. It’s hard when you have built a connection and a sense of self on a platform, and then it becomes severed. That’s hard.

Oof.

Echoing the need to create and seed (posting some example posts) for communities. On my end, the wiki resources of subreddits were some of my favourite content items, so new communities working on recreating shared pages and resources is right at the top of the list of things that excite me about Lemmy communities. ♥️

Awww, man.

Now I’m sad.

Thanks a lot, @orion2145. Not cool.
