We are moving this community to https://lemmy.world/c/ps5

Subscribe here: !ps5@lemmy.world


Why?

Reason #1: Inciting Incident
  • As some of you may be aware, the country of Mali is apparently beginning to take back .ml top level domains. This has already affected other communities and has the potential to affect lemmy.ml (See here for context). This is preemptive act to ensure that what we have build so far is not destroyed.
Reason #2: This community does not align well with lemmy.ml
  • Lemmy.ml is a FOSS focused instance. At the time of the creation of lemmy.ml/c/ps5, lemmy.world was not even on the map. I established this community very early before the reddit migration and wanted to establish it on what I believed at the time was the "flagship" instance for better discoverability. A lot has changed since then, and I believe this change will be in the best interest of this community moving forward. The Admins on lemmy.world have been wonderful and responsive, and I trust lemmy.world will be a great home for us.
  • Other people have personal issues with the lemmy.ml instance and its admins, so while this move will help others who dislike lemmy.ml confidently join our community, it is not the primary reason for migrating.

What will happen to lemmy.ml/c/ps5?

  • Great question. I would love to hear back from other community members on this subject. My initial plans are to pin this thread indefinitely at the top and cease posting news to this community. I will post weekly cross-posts in this community to the discussion threads on lemmy.world/c/ps5, which will have the comments locked, and a comment recommending others subscribe to the new community.
  • For other users posting here, I will still allow posts, but I will comment in each thread with a reminder to post to the new community. I do not intend to lock these posts at this point in time, however if substantial discussion is happening in these threads I may lock them down.

Please let me know your thoughts below!

I would love to hear back from other community members on this subject.

Weeeell maybe you could tell other people, like those who have links in their sidebar, so they know to update it... Such as, say, I dunno... ๐Ÿค”

Haha, I had sent you a matrix message! But I guess you saw this first. Thanks in advance!

Something like a public post would be great for that!
