Lemmy World Rules

founded 1 year ago
MODERATORS
 

I enjoyed my time being here and helping to grow this community. My plan was to keep things such as book of the month and show discussions going indefinitely. It's sad to say goodbye as I would love to continue to try my best at facilitating discussion and help this community become a great resource for science fiction fans everywhere. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice as lemmy.world admins have made the rather baffling decision to ban my account despite no rules being broken. Unless I hear back from Ruud on the matter and the situation is rectified there is no way for me to continue to enjoy discussing science fiction with all of you here. I'm unsure if I will attempt to restart this community on another instance.

Keep on loving science fiction. You guys are great. πŸš€

Will you move the community to another server?

[–] IzzyData@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This has kind of soured my enthusiasm for it, but I'll think about it. It is a passion of mine and I love being here, but I'm unsure if it can be the same.

Please do, lemm.ee has been great for me, much faster too, and this is one of my favorite communities.

A fiction specific server I think would be great, rather than just another big instance.

Could be a great place, sffa seems interesting too

Sifi.live is available, just need to set up an instance on a vm.

[–] admin@lemmy.my-box.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Be warned. Setting up the vm is the easy part. Then you'll have to deal with moderation, users, spammers, etc. It's a much bigger commitment than just running a single community.

I feel you. After the Reddit events, I just don't have the enthusiasm to help maintain many communities anymore. It's hard when you put a lot of work into it and then get treated like shit in response.
