This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

    I did that the last time and moved here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    Better management, no censorship, better uptimes and quicker upgrades, no need to look back (I moved “momentarily”).

      quicker upgrades

      That’s an important one, especially with how long it took LW to upgrade. I completely get why it’s more challenging for them due to their number of users, but that could be an argument for enthusiastic users to move elsewhere.

          Yep :)

          I forgot some apps or frontends might not show up instance names next to usernames.
