Didn't .world admins force-reopen the Android communtity here after they decided to merge with the community on lemdro.id? I'm not sure how well that's gonna go with this community considering at least 2 mods here seem to be admins of .world, unless the community on .ml comes to here.
This did indeed happen. The mods of the LW Android community decided to migrate and merge with the [email protected] community. Most people were fine with it, but several very vocal people were not. There was much vitriol. In the end, the admins re-opened the original LW android community with new mods.
I'm not really sure this is such a bad thing. The two can co-exist. I think most of the anger of the few vocal people came from disliking the Reddit r/Android mods. It does frustratingly split some participation though.
Disclaimer: I am the founding admin of lemdro.id, however I do not mod the android community on it
Hmm, what was the reasoning for the force reopening?
People seeing the lock of the .world community as a power trip from the lemdro.id mods (which were coming from Reddit)
Although it's worth clarifying the [email protected] mods did not have any power in that decision. The original mods of the LW android community made that choice independently
Indeed! Sorry, it's been a while and with everything that's happening lately it's hard to keep track of all details!
