I think the tone of your other post and the call to essentially brigade GitHub and demand changes from the devs put a lot of other instances admins in an uneasy position. You also said that instance admins were “abdicating their responsibility” to demand things of the devs.
Isn’t jumping ship to kbin abdicating your responsibility to stay on and help grow Lemmy..?
To be fair I have no ill will with you, but that post stunk of open source entitlement. https://tommcfarlin.com/open-source-entitlements-users/
I find it odd that a lot of people communicating that there is a problem and that they are impacted equates to brigading. To me, how can they know how wide reaching a change was if there is only a couple of comments from more savvy admins? There's a difference between knowing a decision created a problem, and knowing a decision created a BIG far-reaching problem. From my perspective, sometimes we forget to think about the bigger implications of changes and that's where community pressure and action can come in.
Yeah, I could probably work on my tone a bit. The internet echo chamber has trended my communication style to be more bold, but the fediverse does appear to be ever so slightly different.
Also, haven't moved to Kbin yet - it's just tempting - and yes it would be abdicating my responsibility to grow Lemmy and contribute to that project, thus I haven't done it yet.
As for open-source entitlement - here's what irks me - Admins are users, indeed, but we're not the type of user that blog is admonishing, and I'm not asking other admins to become that. I plan to contribute code to the lemmy code base, make some bots, and generally enrich the ecosystem. So when the ecosystem itself is threatened (by spam), I can't help but sense that this is something bigger than "open-source entitlement".
