As some of you may know, [email protected] is now more active than this community. Reddthat is a nice instance, and having the community there allows us to spread the communities across the different instances.

As it is usually easier for people to subscribe to only community, we are thinking about creating a pinned post here, pointing to [email protected], and lock the community.

If needed, the community can always be unlocked in the future.

    In her defense, Lady Butterfly is the only one who has been willing to step up to moderate this community, and she is well within her rights to leave anytime she wishes, at which point locking the community becomes the only responsible thing left to do? You can’t just leave a community unmoderated - it would instantly become a source for spam that would be spread across the entire Fediverse, as unfortunately happened with many Kbin communities when Ernst fell ill, to the point where people had to defederate from the entire instance to avoid it.

    So for her to not lock this community, someone would have to be willing to step up and do additional work, which so far nobody has.
