Fediverse

The communities above are not managed by a project organisation (the only one I know if [email protected]), it's just that until last week, lemmy.ml was considered the go-to instance for FOSS and Linux.

Network effect is here, I know it first hand as I've been busy posting to [email protected] to try to offer people an alternative to the lemmy.ml community.

But I'm not planning to do that with the communities above, and same for the other FOSS communities, because I have other stuff to do

The vast majority of people going to those communities just want a place with enough people to answer their questions on the topic. They are not going to organize a migration, most of them are probably not even aware of the issues with lemmy.ml administration (seems like the post got removed from lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/comment/11606059)

I see where you come from, and I get it to an extend, but the vast majority of people are probably going to keep going to those communities without any change.

If someone wants to organize a migration of those above communities (the thread I linked above can be a starting point), feel free, but I wouldn't count on it. And without an active migration, those communities will stay the reference for those topics.

On an interesting note, [email protected] move to [email protected] recently.
