Is it time to bring back #Imzy?? I still miss that community.
Silly question. Did #imzy ever do a source release when they sundowned?
OK, who else misses #imzy?

A new social media space, billing itself as "kinder and gentler" than the existing alternatives appears. A recognisable member of the Old joins the New. A vocal minority, claiming underdog status, hounds them mercilessly. User mods and staff admins are AWOL or stand by, despite reports and requests. Blocking and filtering tools are wholly inadequate. Admins ban the user.

My Imzy experience, in 2016.

A cautionary tale.

@gingerrroot I've been really curious about #PillowFort but after #Imzy shut down after about a year(?) I suppose... That's also why it took me a while to really take a look at Mastodon tbh.

@Brook Ultimately, the content and dynamics are more important than the mechanisms, but since one feeds the other, both matter.

There's also who's included, who's not, on what basis, and a mess of other stuff.

I make heavy use of Reddit, none of the chans, various other networks over the years: #slashdot, #kuro5hin, #hn, #googleplus, #ello, #imzy.

Some have worked well, some not. (Imzy is an excellent case of the latter.)
