Definitely time for a sleep!
I have seen your other comments, and I think my issue is (hopefully obviously!) not at all with you, but it is the principle - the choice of multiple communities is being taken away.
For what it is worth (not much) I think you wanting to take load off .world is great, and you patiently answer people's questions and are polite and helpful. As I said, I don't mean to be rude, but if this was happening to a community I was invested in I would be angry and rightly so I think (but to be clear I have never posted on Android, and really it is the principle).
You are doing what seems to be a good job handling a tricky situation, although I think your server needs some clear policies and goals and server-level rules, clear information about funding and GDPR compliance etc. to help build trust. My personal opinion based on seeing one post is that Mike, on the other hand, is not handing this well at all - and comes across as very rude and really condescending and I have replied to his post saying this. Responses you have made compared to his are miles apart. That's just my impression, and not meant as a personal attack. I would hope he can look at how you post and learn from it. Good luck with the moderation if recent responses are how he speaks to people!
No rudeness felt here! I really do appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. These conversations are important. A few thoughts:
Hope you managed to get a decent sleep!
On GDPR, this is a thread from today: https://lemmy.world/post/1131665 - there is a helpful post to some other discussions. Just linking it as there are a few good observations made. Totally agree, there are seemingly a lot of challenges but I am not sure there is an appreciation of how easy it is for anyone to raise non-compliance and the consequences. I'm sure some people have a really good understanding, but I suspect some do not - especially given how vastly complex it is and the lack of urgency some people seem to treat it with.
I feel like there is a lot to learn about how to manage community transitions / mergers / transfers etc as Lemmy grows.
Not much sleep, but thanks for this! I might reach out to pick your brain on a few things GDPR related at some point, if that's alright with you.
Sure thing, although I am by no means an expert at all (companies often have people who specialise in GDPR compliance).
A good reference point is https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/ and https://gdpr.eu/ including their checklist.
