eventually it’ll run dry - because the contributors are leaving the site

I somewhat disagree… you haven’t considered the increased incentive for occasional posters to become more regular contributors as existing contributors leave.

As the volume of contributions reduces, each contribution is more likely to garner engagement - those sweet sweet endorphins released when someone upvotes or otherwise engages with your post.

Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins. ( lemmy.dbzer0.com )

A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it....

This is happening all over reddit.

Mods are posting all over the place saying “I have to bend over for the admins because if I don’t they’ll find someone else who will”.

You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don’t have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit’s not about to die but it’s best days are in the past. I wouldn’t want to be a part of the future of reddit.

Reddit Exodus: Welcoming the Selfhosted Community to Lemmy - Migrating to Freedom!

Greetings, self-hosting enthusiasts and welcome to the Selfhosted group on Lemmy! I am Fimeg, your tour guide through the labyrinth of digital change. As you’re likely aware, we’re witnessing a considerable transformation in the landscape of online communities, particularly around Reddit. So let’s indulge our inner tech...

Is this the best place for us though? @Zoe8338 is the only mod and they don’t seem to be active.

dogmuffins Mod ,

This is as good a place as any to ask… where should we set up shop? This community’s sole mod @Zoe8338 doesn’t seem to be active.

A number of different self-hosting related communities have popped up in the last few days. I’m concerned that without a single focal point we won’t hit a critical mass.

Looking at the list of instances there doesn’t seem to be any really perfect options.

Honestly I would be most comfortable with an instance administrated by several people. It just increases the odds that admins will know what they’re doing and not lose interest.

dogmuffins Mod ,

Hard disagree.

Getting over-run by blog spam is entirely foreseeable.

With a single dead mod it’s entirely foreseeable that we would have to relocate at some point which could be devastating when trying to preserve whatevers left of the community.

The reluctance of redditors to move to lemmy always amazes me.

Not surprisingly, there’s a lot of posts in a lot of subs about the recently announced changes. In every post the same pattern is repeated ad-nauseum:

  • “i hate reddit, it sucks here, I’ve always wanted to leave, I’m never coming back once this happens”
  • “maybe we should move the sub to lemmy so we won’t have this problem in future?”
  • “but what about all our data, the wiki & post history and such”
  • “but there’s no users on lemmy”
  • “but that would split the community!”

This is the case even in the subs I would have thought would be really keen to jump ship, like /r/selfhosted

I think this type of approach is the right idea though, a better ecosystem can only be good.
