I know they roughly explained why, but it seems pretty insane they jumped the gun without having any of the users input and want people to go to another instance just for that community

    “I don’t get why are you so upset. It’s not a big deal.”

    first off I’m not? I’m just confused why the entire modteam just refused to get everyone’s input and did what they wanted anyway which is why people left reddit in the first place.

    Second, it’s not convenient to just close a community without anyone’s knowledge and punish the users who don’t want to move so suddenly.

      I get the feeling that you don’t understand that you don’t need to sign up at the other instance to subscribe to the community. You can just click the link and subscribe from your current account, and everything will be as it was.

      You don’t have to move your account. You can subscribe to the other community on the other instance from your existing account. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse.

      Your first point…I’m sorry, it just looks like a classic “strawman”. All I will say is that there are many reasons to leave reddit, but this particular argument fails on a simple premise: # most of the time, users upset with specific mods likely did not leave reddit, but rather just created new subreddits in direct competition. But there is no singular reason to leave reddit; even so, the most popular reason currently is something entirely different.

      Second, the community explicitly was not closed; it was relocated. As others have pointed out already, this does not remove or restrict your access in any meaningful way.

      Last but not least, there reasons are very clearly and directly communicated. I see no fault with their reasoning, or the action they took.
