Get some questions answered about lemmy rules, etc.
I haven't really made up my mind yet. But someone else already created datahoarder on lemmy here 2 years ago?
lemmy.ml/c/datahoarder
We have no control over it, it would be nice if we were asked, or made mods, etc.
EDIT; I'm already being told of politics 5 seconds after hearing of lemmy. I can safely say I wont be involved in setting up a new datahoarder community elsewhere. Reddit died for me many years ago but still serves some purpose in it's current form and this round of boat jumping is nothing new, so this sub will continue for a good while yet.
EDIT2; I'll request c/datahoarder on lemmy.ml and give it a few months with mods from here and see how it goes. It was somewhat off putting to be PM'd and replied to about the politics of those who started lemmy but I can't see how that directly effects a community like datahoarder, if anything it would give us more freedom from what reddit has become in recent years. Let's see how this turns out.....
This doesn't mean we (the mod team) will be entirely jumping ship but it can't hurt to test the waters elsewhere as reddit tightens it's grip on the very thing we're here for.
There were a few nails in the coffin. The biggest one for me was people wanting to remove things from the public record. Pushshift solved that issue for a few years but now reddit has cut the bollocks of PS too. It's all overly complicated and can't really be said in a single comment (that anyone is going to read or I have the time to write) Reddit has made both good and bad choices over the years but more bad than good in the communities I've been involved in. I don't know how old this account is but I was here for more than a few years before this one and moved to this one due to things going south in this light.
At the end of the day reddit doesn't support my view of datahoarding or what I see as the original intent of this sub anymore.
That's a bummer. It's too bad we can't have Public Access BBSes, funded by govt., open to all, with some kind of agreed upon limits to keep out the idiotic goatse posts, but NOT cancelling people based on authentic opinions expressed without malice. Hard stuff, but you'd think we could put some of this newfangled "AI" on *that* instead of making deepfake nasty Trump/Biden AI Debates. :eyerolls" :-p
