Sublinks is not Lemmy. This is basically hijacking the largest instance to do something entirely different. It means everything done here will eventually break. This is like kbin or beehaw. This eventually leads to isolation and everyone leaves. This move is the death of Lemmy as it has been for several months.
It was things said in the comments of that post and reading between the lines. I think the change is inevitable and already decided. The main active admin of .world is working on sublinks. That is enough for me to view time spent on building community on .world as a waste. If it was the other way around and they were coding in Rust and the Lemmy base was in js or whatever, maybe I’d think differently, but everything I’ve seen is a massive red flag saying sinking ship, or at least I’m on the wrong ship and regret the time spent there now. A lot of people left already. I have my other accounts, but had never made a .ml until recently in an attempt to start making sure communities were shared across larger instances, but I guess it was well timed to make the shift.
It was MASSIVELY disappointing to see .world go down the path of announcing the intentions of instability with unnecessary change. It was the single most damaging move possible for Lemmy all because of stupid people’s anti community politics and people that can’t figure out Rust as far as I can tell.
I can’t move my comments and history with me to another instance; only my settings and subscriptions follow.
Sublinks. You whine and make excuses but didn’t make pull requests with good code, and now you are trying to tank the largest instance. Very Spez move of you.
I want nothing to do with your casus belli
