I made a post asking about this too because it seemed a bit insanely barbaric to punish the active users who don't want to just move to another instance and solely want to use world.
" "we're keen to avoid unnecessary fragmentation for existing members and confusion for any newcomers."
ah yes because locking the entire community without anyone's knowledge and consent first isn't totally insane and like another certain platform we all left from."
Said post was also brigaded heavily so I deleted it since I got a lot of insanely nasty messages and snarky replies.
Honestly this just seems like people want another repeat of awkwardtheturtle I'm Gonna be real lmao
You can access lemdro.id from lemmy.world though. That js the beauty of fediverse..
You can still access the other community on a different instance from world, you don't need a different login or anything
Why do so many repeat this falsehood? There is no concept of “moving to a new instance” for a user. This is not like old phpBB forums. Your account works everywhere.
The reason you were downvoted on your other post wasn't because it was being "brigaded". It was because you kept talking like they were trying to force you to move your account over to another instance, when that clearly isn't the case. It would take a matter of seconds to subscribe to the other android community. One click.
