World has had some controversy and a lot of .world users have a very “Reddit” worldview - which kind of makes sense since many of them are Reddit refugees.
As a result there are some instances that have defederated with .world, and some call into question the moderation model used.
196 didn’t even ask their users though; they were just like “ok we’re gonna move the community and no one is allowed the old one” which is an arbitrary decision that goes against the design of the fediverse. So while .world isn’t ideal for many, the real point of contention is the fact that this was just done out of nowhere, with no input, and measures are being taken to prevent competition from a new team taking over at Blahaj.
If you don’t like how a community is treated on an instance and the admins won’t work with you, you’re free to go create your own community elsewhere, with blackjack and hookers. But, I don’t think it’s fair that you can just pull the ladder up behind you and slam the door. Shame on the 196 mods and on the blahaj admins both for allowing this situation, the worst possible outcome.
