I just now got the notification that you replied to my comment.
I just want to let you, and all our other wrestlefriends, know that they are appreciated.
I think the decision falls heaviest on our fellow kbin.social users. Since moving will also likely require them to make new accounts elsewhere to ensure federation issues are resolved. From my own observation, the fedio magazine will be the most familiar option and therefore easiest to transition to.
@TellumSiege I know commenting has been a pain for you but I'd really like you to weigh in on this. AKittyCat may have been our founder, and Geek may be the admin, but you're the one that really got the ball rolling and I think it's safe to say none of us would be here without you. Hell, when AKittyCat announced that you and I both were the new mods, I thought I was being pranked.
My 2 cents:
Speaking as a community member, I created an account on lemmy.zip this morning (same name, same avatar) and comments here on kbin.social are taking over 4 hours to appear there and vice-versa. We have a rather significant pay per view event coming up this Sunday, and with federation taking that long, the live discussion will suffer.
Speaking purely as a moderator, it's important that we be able to take swift action against spambots, trolls, and harmful content. It's also important that those actions federate quickly, too. The absolute last thing I want is some jerk posting NSFL/CSAM in a live discussion thread and mod actions removing it taking hours to federate. That's obviously a worst case scenario, but not an impossible one.
