This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

At some point I have to start wondering if Putin pays these sorts of people.

There is also both Mbin and PieFed that are fairly developed.

The problem is being able to migrate existing instances to those, not just having other software available. Current instances can't easily move over at the drop of a hat, for many it would straight up kill them to have to start from scratch. And as far as I'm aware Lemmy Database isn't compatible with either so they'd have to start from scratch on the new software.

Thank you for the explanation.

Although there are existing instances of Mbin and PieFed that I would guess would not have that problem, bc they already have posts in their own respective formats? And any new Lemmy instance I thought would have the same issues - as in even if an older post would federate, the comments and votes that happened prior to that action would not (if I'm reading https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/1907501 correctly), plus even existing ones like aussie.zone seem like they can lose content if the backlog of bulk sending of actions does not get cleared within 7 days time.

Still, it's an excellent point about existing instances already running Lemmy not wanting to switch to Mbin or PieFed, but that could perhaps switch to Sublinks.

Though individual users could move, and still keep posting to the same communities as they had been.

Once a Piefed instance is mature enough, I could consider asking a few communities I mod if they would be okay to migrate to it.

[email protected] for instance doesn't really need to be able to edit past posts, and we already moved from LW to lemm.ee. Moving again to another instance wouldn't be that different.
