Hey everyone!

So we've been trying our best to listen to members of the community on how we provide updates and information to you fine folks! To that end, we would like to welcome a new secondary, fedi-friendly avenue, Mastodon.

https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld

We will be posting updates here in ADDITION to our normal [email protected] community. As both a supplement to our Discord server and a place for the community to directly interact with us via micro-blogging.

We feel this opens up a few neat doors for sure to keep communication open and transparent.

See you there ๐Ÿ˜‰

I swear, some of the users here are so whiny and insufferable. I don't envy the lemmy.world team at all.

Incredibly insufferable and entitled lol

I don't necessarily care much about the FOSS arguments and all that stuff that some of the other users complain about, but I kinda don't like the fact that I have to verify my account and link it just to go to a discord server for updates. I'm fine with just having the main community with updates, not sure why discord has to be thrown in to complicate things. If the main community is here to stay and I don't have to join a discord and go through the verification, hey that's fine by me. The verbiage is just odd how it makes it sound like the community will go away and you'll have to go to the discord. Hope that's never the case, though.

When lemmy.world goes down, how would mods use the website to communicate with us? They can't. So having a secondary mode of communication makes a ton of sense.

I suppose that's fair, good point. A locked-down discord is just an odd choice for that, in my opinion. Mastodon makes much more sense.
