This community got removed from lemmy.world (again) - Divisions by zero
lemmy.dbzer0.com
This is another post that alerted me of this. https://lemmy.world/post/13287681 [https://lemmy.world/post/13287681] And here is the modlog: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveCommunity [https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveCommunity]

This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

    A lot of people are saying “just connect to another instance”, but it would be nice if the client could connect to multiple instances at once, and merge things internally, maybe even spreading the load a bit.

    Probably a bit tricky for the web and linking, but maybe something for the mobile apps to consider?

    Ideally the only time I’d need to swap accounts is to post.

      How would you deal with votes? That’s a pretty common action, and having to choose every time would be tedious

        You could list your accounts in priority, and the highest account that has access to the post you’re reading will be responsible for the vote.

        Considering how well voting has turned out in general, maybe the voting system is the issue.

          You know, I don’t even disagree with you. Voting really doesn’t bring any good to the table, it only creates some sort of hive mind mentality

            Plus it allows users to anonymously express disdain towards somebody, not just to their comment or opinion but them personally I’ve seen this happen on Reddit where people were mass downvoted for seemingly no reason other than being openly trans/queer.

            It only gets worse when you use that as a reputation system for restricting users because then it’s a social credit system.

        Just have it default to one of them. A simple priority order, preferring an account on the host instance I guess.

        Same for commenting, and posting. You wouldn’t have to select another account unless you really wanted to.
