Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling?
Skavau@piefed.social 5 days agoI don't think an admin of a server would think that if a community sets up there and operates there that they "own" it, to be honest.
Also, currently, it would only duplicate the content and change how it appears from a Piefed instance.

If you are the admin and developer of the server, you can do pretty much anything with it.
For example, now that I am working on an AP server, I can take all your posts on !television@piefed.social and mirror them on !television@metacritics.zone. I could also avoid sending notifications to you, so you’d be aware of this only if you visited the site directly. How would you feel about that?

Well currently an admin could easily intervene and stop a migration by removing the community mods, to be fair.
I mean you could just copy my posts anyway manually, if you were so inclined. There wouldn't be much I could do about it no matter how you did it.

No, no. By mirroring, I mean it is possible to make it look like you posted to the community.

I'd object and probably complain and it'd get your instance blacklisted. I'd support all community migrations being made publicly known - so you can see the timestamps and paper trail of a community.
But this isn't quite the way that community migration would work here - it's not quite the same thing. You would be attempting to give the impression I am actively contributing to a community I'm not - whereas I'm talking about moving a community from instance A to B. The community for all intents and purpose is the same.
If did posted actively to a community I do not own or moderate and they moved server and thus took my posts there with them, I wouldn't really object to that.
