This post serves as notice that Lemmy.one will be shutting down in 90 days.

Unfortunately, the moderation features in Lemmy never progressed to the point required to continue maintaining this service, and Lemmy simply does not have the userbase to justify the cost of this service. Myself and the moderation team apologize for the inconvenience this will cause.

This is sad news. Hopefully the comms can migrate to other smaller instances.

Edit: just saw this

as this is a fairly active community we just wanted to let you know that this community is no longer federating with Lemmy.World due to defederation from lemmy.one for lack of moderation.

Our announcement can be found here: https://lemmy.world/post/28173093

We recommend migrating to a community on an instance that is maintained better.

I guess it's been an issue. I think the lemmy.one meant they needed better administration features

this wouldn't be so bad if you could easily transfer your account from one instance to another

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 12 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

You can transfer all your subscriptions and blocks. What you cannot transfer is your imaginary internet points that aren't summed up by default in lemmy anyways.

Would your post/comment history be lost as well? Will posts/comments show up as [by deleted user] or w/e?

If instance A stops existing, instance B doesn't have any specific knowledge of that versus it no longer federating. Existing posts and comments will stay. My instance is no longer federated with some, but I still see the communities from them.

AFAIK they would remain tied to your old account. The instances copy everything off each other. So if reddthat.com would go down, your comment would still show as EndlessNightmare@reddthath.com If you were to make a new account on a different instance it would not have your posts and comments "attached" to it.

This could be an issue if you rely on reputation for something that is tied to your account. In that sense having some mechanism to proof the old account to be owned by you would be good.

Ironically enough, even though "imaginary" this aspect might be key to moderation. Assuming (and that's a flawed assumption) that people would upvote/downvote based not on their opinion but rather on how healthy/unhealthy to the discussion a comment is, then those "points" would be useful to see above/below a threshold one would want to interact, e.g. show content or not (or even now show even as to unfold).

Nah the points are laughably easy to game even in centralized reddit since this moderation aspect never made any sense. As if bad actors can't upvote themselves, buy upvotes or just repost any random garbage to /r/funny.

Its a terrible system that turned Reddit into a content desert. Once you decline some new person because "they dint have enough karma" they're never trying to contribute again and you end up with power users who have a moat around content production.

Shared moderation lists already do all of this in an actually functional way. You can subscribe to Bob's list of douchebags and have the client block them. This is something bluesky added quite recently but it already exists on fediverse to instance admins tho afaik not individual users yet.
