If so, please remove the Autism Place links on the sidebar as the instance is dead. I wouldn't mind a link to [email protected] either

I Don't think it is. the people I worked here with in the past have disappeared or moved on. I might try to create an alternative on dbzer0

update: i have done so here

Why not just request mod controls from l.w.? I could understand choosing an alternative if the comm was abandoned or bloated with spam, but this community is already active, so why move it?

I think having one central instance is bad for the fediverse as a whole.

But your account is 4 hours old. Why should I leave this established community with many users to go to a new one run by a new account?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have simply switched instances. The server owner for autism.place disappeared one day, and that instance went under. As for leaving LW it is as i've mentioned above an occasion to de-centralise the fediverse a little.

You speak rationally but I have an aversion to change

Account age doesnt mean what it did in the olden times.
