Deciding the fate of c/snoocalypse - tell me what you think! (lemmy.ml)

I wish to stop being a moderator in lemmy.ml. However, I don't know what to do with this community; the last time I asked for new mods nobody showed interest. So I'd like the help of other members of the community to decide it.

Here are a few options:

  • Migrate this community. Frankly I don't care about Reddit nowadays, but I'm still willing to mod a comm about it in another instance. So if users tell me "migrate SNOOcalypse to [instance]!", I'll seriously consider it.
  • Recruiting new mods. If you wish to be a mod, please tell me so in this thread. I'll check if you'd be a good mod, recruit you, step down myself, and you're free to moderate it as you wish.
  • Closing down this comm. There are a few other comms about Reddit across the Lemmy/Kbinverse, so we'd use those instead. If neither of the alternatives above is viable/feasible, this is likely what's going to happen.
  • Something else. Then please do tell me. As long as it doesn't boil down to "negligently leave this comm active but unmoderated", I'll consider it.

I'm planning to step down 19/February/2024.

So, what do you think that should be done?

I'd go with option three. There are plenty comms to discuss Reddit around.

Don't delete it, but maybe disable posting. If someone wants to pick the comm back up, they can go bother the admins about getting appointed as a new mod.

If I close down this comm, I'll do it as you said - disable posting, but keep the content here. One of the roles of this comm was to document the downfall of Reddit, so it doesn't make sense to delete it.

Seems reasonable

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I agree

If you go with the first option please don’t migrate the community to Lemmy.world. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with the way that instance is run but they already have [email protected]. Plus I believe as a matter of principle that we need to stop the community consolidation on that instance and spread out for the health of the threadiverse as a whole.

Personally I’d just switch the comm to mod post only mode and let the admins deal with it if someone ends up asking to take over down the road. There are plenty of other comms I can go to if I want to gawk at Reddit’s boneheaded decisions.

I must be out of the loop but what’s the reason for moving instance from lemmy.ml ?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Without going too much into details: I strongly disagree with a few recent decisions of the instance admins, regarding another instance and a community within lemmy.ml, to the point that I feel uncomfortable moderating a community here. As such I'm asking the community here for a few options, on what you guys think that I should do with our comm - get new mods, migrate the comm, close it down, something else?

I wish that I could be more explicit on this, but talking about the issue in the open might lead to administrative actions, dunno.

What was it? you can DM me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My vote, if I got one, would be moving it. I do think there is value in a place to watch Reddit crumble from afar, if only to point and laugh. However, if you just don't want the burden of modding the community anymore, you need to do what's right for you.

As for where to move it to, I follow a few communities on Kbin.social, and they seem nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

kbin.social could be an option, and thankfully I have an account there. I'm not doing it by votes but by the overall "feel" of the community.

Note that I'm happy moderating a community about Reddit (even if myself don't give a damn about it any more), as long as people retrieve some value from it, and I can do so from a good instance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I take it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Do you have other accounts with more activity, specially in this community?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I am more of a Lurker, but I am always online.

Thank you. I'll consider it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

so no?

[–] Anon518 1 points 7 months ago

I just made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie. Interested?

[–] Anon518 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is a lemmy.ml account required? I don't really want to but this comm seems better than the reddit one on lemmy.world.
