We have received numerous reports from users about the closure of the c/android community. While we fully support the original community owners’ decision to move to another instance, it will eventually be necessary to open up the community on Lemmy.world. The beauty of the fediverse is that multiple communities on the same subject can exist in different instances. However, if you can no longer moderate a community on Lemmy for any reason, it is important to pass it on to individuals who are willing and able to do so.
To ensure the best interests of our instance members, it is necessary to establish boundaries. Holding onto a community name cannot be a permanent arrangement. It’s important to consider our users’ ongoing interest in the community if they wish it to continue. While we acknowledge the objective of consolidating communities, current community members ultimately decide whether they wish to join the new community at lemdro.id.
To ensure a smooth transition, we will keep the community locked for another week, providing ample time to inform the active user base about the move to the new instance at https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected].
It’s 453 upvotes and 86 downvotes. I wouldn’t personally consider 84% support pathetic.
You may also notice that both mods supported the move (as both Mike and Devgard joined [email protected]).
I didn’t even exaggerate, you really obsess over that upvote count. How is that even considered “widely upvoted” please when you needed almost two weeks and forcibly closing down the community to achieve that pathetic number?
