Right? I've seen the conversations over at the other NBA-related subs and it's amusing for all the wrong reasons. Just have to remind myself that these are different people who speak out of their collective who-knows-what regarding things that they spent probably south of 2mins out of their day pondering about.
I'm absolutely disappointed about the decision to reopen, but I understand why they did it. It's also why I'm rooting for federated platforms to work and for /c/NBA to succeed.
Reddit succeeded not just because of the platform provider, but also because of the users/mods who participated in the community. It's a balance of effort between the two sides that one side has now devalued. Disheartening that a segment of the community doesn't recognize this and is content with the position that's pushed on them.
Tbf, some of the gripes make sense. Apparently they had a GDT on the sub (mods have access to the sub when closed) during G5. So their credibility and sincerity to the cause was thrown out of the window. Dapat kasi nag-Lemmy or Discord na lang mga mods, lol.
But day after day na-aappreciate ko yung value that Lemmy brings. When Beehaw defederated the other day, some of their users left and jumped to a different instance seamlessly. If I signed up at
lemmygrad.mlby mistake, I could have easily moved the community tolemm.eeorlemmy.world.Yeah, I just found out about the private game thread after submitting my reply. Big time yikes.
