Both have posts recently. And anyone can go on either community and post or comment something right now. Is size the most important metric? Reddit has millions of active users
This is my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of Moss or any other person on the mod team, or even anyone else in general:
I believe the community on Lemmy, “the page” if you like, belongs to the admin/founder of the community.
The community, “the people,” belong to themselves. We are no livestock, after all.
So while I say the admin of “the page” can do with their page as they like (assuming there are no other rules in place forbidding them from doing so, either at the community or instance level), I believe that it’s everyone’s own choice to come, go, leave, or stay.
I, for one, would not have followed 196 to lemmy.ml, for example (I know this would never happen, but lemmy.ml is the only non-defederated instance I don’t like).
And if people don’t want to follow 196 to .world, it’s their choice. But it’s the admin’s choice to move “the page” there.
Okay then. Moss+team didn’t create 196 on LBZ. Someone else did, then abandoned it. Ada gave them mod so the community could be reactivated. Now that they don’t want to moderate 196 on LBZ anymore, would it not be justified for someone else to take over, instead of locking it down? So far, I haven’t seen a single argument in favor of the lock down. Lei the people who want to leave, leave, end everyone else stay. Or both. That’s the beauty of the fediverse.

It seems so. Because that would be the only real difference to a completely new community or did I miss something?
Very quick question: does a community belong to its mods or its members?

Preventing people from using the previous community seems overreacting.
They could just have moved to LW and kept the Blahaj version open.
Perhaps. We will all know more once Moss gets back to my message :)
And I would postpone until then :D
