And what you still seem to not understand:
Those communities don't want to be on those domains. So all you are doing is trying to force their hand because you think your desires override their autonomy.
I don't have to "paint (your) work in the worst possible light" because... you are doing that yourself.
Can you honestly say that the communities on reddit are on reddit due to their choice and absolute free will?
I would say that I would rather they make their own decisions rather than someone decide they know better and force their hands.
I too was a libertarian once. Then I grew up.
Into a selfish authoritarian?
Also, I was not aware that not forcing human beings to talk about video games in the space you decided they should makes me a libertarian. I guess I need to rethink my life?
Who is forcing anything, dear Lord?
The spaces are being created because there are no alternatives. If they don't want to use it and decide to love somewhere else, more power to them. Unlike Reddit, I am not able to kick out moderators and keep only those that pledge loyalty to me.
You know what? I think you've made all my points for me, repeatedly. Like, if anything I owe you for making my argument better than I could. So I'll just loop back to
Feel free to continue to reiterate my points for me while pretending you are refuting them.
You highlighting the passage that says the complete opposite of what you are implying shows that you are not interested in honest conversation and just want to confirm your worldview.
Have a good one.
There are a lot of subreddits that have set up their own Lemmy communities. There's not much hindering them.
And there are lots that didn't, and these are the ones that I am creating instances/communities for.
It's not just moderators. I'm talking about members of the community who were completely ignored by moderators when asked "can we find a better alternative?"
Saying "they had the option, if they didn't move it's their problem" is incredibly ignorant of power dynamics in asymmetric relationships.
