Comment on Lemmy.ml/c/ps5 is moving to Lemmy.world/c/ps5 - Please upvote for visibility
CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 1 year agoI understand that this move is not one that is best for the fediverse, but at this time it is what is best for my community. The Mali situation does not provide me enough time to consider better alternatives. I live to fight another day. When a community migration tool comes along, I will consider migrating again. For now, this is my decision and what I think is best.

Perhaps you should have taken the time to consider better alternatives before jumping. This looks like a hasty thought, jumping from the #2 to #1 Lemmy server, and it’s actions like these that definitely harm the Fediverse. Now the lemmy.world instance has to shoulder on even more burden. Thanks.

I would have, but unfortunately, the Mali situation does not afford me the luxury of time, as they could shut down the ML domain at any time, and they have already done so to another instance. Lemmy.ml being shutdown will kill my community outright. I respect that you disagree and I understand the reasons. I actually agree with you. If a community migration tool comes along, I will look into moving off of lemmy.world to a reliable and trustworthy gaming centric instance.
As for .world not being able to shoulder the burden. If they didn’t think they could handle the load, they can close signups and restrict new community generation. Since they haven’t, then they are choosing to accept these users and communities with open arms. I actually personally raised this issue with them when they surpassed lemmy.ml in total and active users. They are confident in their abilities to grow and manage. The admins were made aware of my intent to migrate and even helped me coordinate the transfer of ownership of !ps5@lemmy.world to my account for the purpose of doing so. They are very much in the loop on this.
