I see you're getting a lot of criticism so I felt the need to say I support the decision.
The idea behind Lemmy is that users can be a part of any instance they want and not be a part of any instance they don't. The same communities can exist on multiple instances and users can subscribe to all of them, some of them, or none of them. Mods are users too so I see no shame in instance hopping. As a user of Lemmy.ca, literally nothing changes for me besides the words after the "@"
To emphasize how little things changed for me, I was actually already subscribed to this community before the announcement was made. I will continue to stay subscribed to the other community on lemmy.blahaj.zone as well. Nothing has changed for me and my subscribed feed.
The place the mods said would be taking to "mod only" and thus effectively closed and useless for everyone?
Instance admins have total control over the communities on their instance. The admin can appoint themselves or anyone else as a moderator and unlock the community, so there's a chance there will be more posts. If not, that's fine too! I'm subscribed to a fair amount of communities that are no longer active. It doesn't change anything as I scroll through my subscription feed!
