Love Voyager but this is the biggest downside. Would be happy to join the TestFlight when it’s up. Good luck!

Also, the Wii was a fad. Nintendo and others wildly overestimated how many people would come back and buy another console after buying a Wii. Turns out most of them were rotting in closets. The Wii U could have improved on the Wii in every possible way and it wouldn’t have done well.

This isn’t the case for the Switch. I don’t think the Switch 2 will do Switch numbers, those were very artificially boosted by the pandemic & the novelty of the form factor. However, I doubt Nintendo will have any trouble moving units.

Or, he did a Nazi salute because, and I know this is some outside the box, crazy thinking: He’s a Nazi.

I know, right? Racist, apartheid profiteer, open supporter of racist far right parties across the world, frequent promoter & amplifier of far right wing and openly racist & anti-Semitic voices on his social media platform? The guy who just bought his way into power and has funded the rise of mask-off fascism in America? That guy is a Nazi? No way.

Put up a test post, my account is from Lemmy.ca and it worked so it looks like it’s fixed. It did require restarting my client (using Voyager on iOS) so try that if you’re still getting the lock issue.

My vote is for what I put in the original thread that was ignored multiple times.

Unlock the community, leave it as is, the problems you are mentioning as major factors in the decision simply do not matter that much to the community.

If the mod team chooses to leave and moderate somewhere else because they are sick of people assuming moderation actions done by instance admins are because of them, then they can step aside and mod a 196 community wherever they wish.

However it will be hard or impossible to undo the damage that has been done, with this comment from moss in particular being especially awful. A sentiment like that can’t just be walked back, it speaks to a moderator having little or no respect for the community and not understanding their place in it. The mods contributions are respected & appreciated, but the community is not being respected in turn.

I genuinely can’t believe moss said that, it was actually shocking to me. You had to assume it during the beginning of that thread, and people tried to give the mods the benefit of the doubt, but to just go full mask off and say “no the community is the mod team and we can do what we want with it” was just bonkers.

I love this community because I see stuff that I never would see otherwise and would never assume would make me laugh, and find my self bursting out giggling.

This is one of those times.

Setting aside what an awful & insulting response this (the community is the community, that’s why the word exists. Moderators are not the community)…

If you really believe this, then why lock the existing one? Obviously your well planned & executed move will be wildly successful, so there should be no need to lock the existing one. Unless of course 8 people who do caretaker duties on the community are in fact NOT the community, the people are and you need them, even if you don’t respect their opinions or contributions.

Why are you not engaging with the large number of users suggesting simply leaving this community unlocked and allowing new mods to take over? It’s very obvious you are avoiding responding to those comments. As you have acknowledged, this was handled badly with zero community choice or involvement. Few, if any commenters agree with the move or support it.

Nobody is asking for a “360” on whatever the mod team planned, the community can’t hold you hostage and force you to moderate a community when you don’t want to. Locking the community however should not be your choice to make. If you want to leave, leave. If the mod team and new instance are so important as you suggest, you’ll have a flourishing community on lemmy.world in no time.

But locking out the community with no consultation or notice is just cruel.

It’s pretty clear what the community consensus here is.

You can leave, and start a new 196 community wherever you like. Leave this one as is, and people can choose to follow one, both or neither.

Locking it here is very hostile to the community and a categorically bad move. I hope the instance admins can step in, remove the mods and unlock the community.
