Memes about the Fediverse.

Rules

General
  1. Be respectful
  2. Post on topic
  3. No bigotry or hate speech
  4. Memes should not be personal attacks towards other users
  5. We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
    • Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
  6. This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

There's two entire months between this announcement and the fuck-you date.

How long should it take to vet someone?

Would it really be worse to let a flawed bastard take over, versus deleting everyone and all their content?

How would you pick a successor?

A flawed bastard might be a government. Given that the US is in full fascist mode, I personally would consider deleting everyone's content the fast, easy, and secure option. Although, not necessarily the best option for the community.

Divine right? Lob a scimitar at them? 🤷‍♂️

The US government running its own Lemmy instance would not be worse than any established instance suddenly disappearing.
