Moving community over to dbzer0. in c/[email protected]

We have had the same issues on my main (dbzer0) which is part of what prompted me to try and fragment some of .worlds. Also like many I am a previous reddit user who left during the exodous of June 23 so centralisation of too many communities makes me nervous xD

Yes upon reviewing that post again today it isn't the best examples of the fediverse, I think I must have seen it when it was initially posted so there weren't any replies.

However that thread alone wasn't my sole basis for the decision, I'm not the biggest fan of Lemmy.world either as well as the points I mentioned before, however that thread was kind of a tipping point where I said to myself "is Lemmy.worlds divisiveness negatively impacting the amount of eyes that could be turned in this direction"

Ultimately I don't care to get into shit slinging or politics between instances, I just want the maximum possible traffic for what is already a very niche community / music genre in the hopes of fostering some kind of discourse between people on the music that we have in common.

I don't have any links to hand, it was triggered by a post I saw on all yesterday, it may have been from a smaller instance as I didn't note the instance at the time of reading but I will have a proper look for a link for you later as I've just started work.

I've also been considering moving the community for a while whilst I'm still the only main poster so as to try and dilute communities and make Lemmy in general less centralised due to how many communities are hosted by .world. The longer I waited to do this the harder it may be to rebuild but as it is mostly still me posting hopefully the people who lurk will be happy to subscribe to the new community and in time hopefully it can grow into a more active place with my contributors.

This was the post I saw yesterday.

Hi to anyone who reads this.

I've been considering moving the community for a while whilst I'm still the only main poster so as to try and dilute communities and make Lemmy in general less centralised due to how many communities are hosted by .world. The longer I waited to do this the harder it may be to rebuild but as it is mostly still me posting hopefully the people who lurk will be happy to subscribe to the new community and in time hopefully it can grow into a more active place with my contributors.

More and more instances are also defederating with Lemmy.world recently over their questionable moderating and views. These politics should be kept out of music and music enjoyment / discussion and I want as many people to be able to both see and discover the music that is being posted here. This community is going to be stunted from growing and have less eyes on it in /all by staying on .world.

As such I have created a community over at -

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/dubstep

[email protected]

I'm going to continue posting two releases a day, as I have done here for over a year, just over there now where hopefully a better community can slowly be built and be seen by everyone who wants to.

Please come and join me over there, subscribe if you are just a lurker who enjoys the music I post. Hopefully one day there will be enough of us to have some better discussions but until then I will keep posting!
