Suggestion: asking for the community's thoughts before defederating with an instance (lemmy.world)

It'd be nice if the admins got everyone's input on these sorts of things. Admins making decisions without thought to our opinions is what drove us here from reddit. I'm not going to lose sleep over hexbear defederation in particular, but it's a disconcerting precedent.

I know I can just leave to another instance, but I've started [email protected] here and don't want to have to move that too 😓

(Apologies if this isn't the place to share suggestions. Also I do appreciate the hard work the admins are doing. My sincere thanks!!)

On your first point, there are tools already for migrating accounts although still in their early stages. For example, https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim allows you to move subs and blocks to a new account in another instance, but not posts and comments. I don’t think there’s a tool yet to move a community as a mod though.

Moving a community is my main concern. Also, that utility doesn't seem to allow moving post/comment history to the new account, unless I missed it.
