PhilHow do pre-reddit influx lemmy members feel?
No Lemmy ettique missing as there wasn't enough of a community to form anything. I had no issue with the smaller size and all the usual posters I'd see and chat with have dispersed with the larger array of content.
But now you don't get people signing up, talking about the lack of content and disappearing. Or servers set up in hope and shut down - eope.xyz caw.ai Jeremmy.ml or ones that ragequit fapsi.be. And of course wolfballs.
Even if most go back to reddit it will still be an improved space with the servers and communities that remain I think.
Please tell me the legend of wolfballs
Wolfballs was what could be called a free speech instance run by Master of Balls.. There was friction, but personally I liked that the was a variety of instances if not the content.
Exploding-heads run by Kapow is the closest in vibe and a spot where some jumped to.
Master of balls left an exit note here which pretty much sums up the vibe, stored on the fedirama community https://lemmy.ca/post/390398
MasterofballsBetter they hear it from my mouth than someone who altered it.
Why did wolfballs shutdown?
Why did wolfballs shut down? I think it’s worth a blog post to describe why wolfballs shutdown and what plans are for the future. There is a link floating around of my words changed/altered so I want to put a official wolfballs statement that can stay up. Wolfballs was set up during the death of ruqqus. I needed a place to vent my frustration with covid lockdowns. I loved how much engagement I got at ruqqus.
