Anime is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from Japan.
Anime; the one thing that gets us closer to each other and brings us together.

MODERATORS
In my opinion, the migration is sensible because:
Communities are best served by an instance more tailored to their content. General instances are good and convenient for people new to the platform, but they're dangerous to communities. Think of all the
beehaw.orgcommunities that are effectively quarantined from.worldusers. Not that defederation is wrong, in fact I'm a huge supporter of defederation as a whole. But putting relevant content onto a more relevant instance will ensure that the community will be more likely accessible, broadly, to users regardless of defederation.If
.mlwishes to not have anime content, that's entirely their prerogative. It's important, then, that anime be moved to somewhere that is is welcome, or else those in the community may find themselves without a community at any given time.This is what mods are for. The sleight-of-hand is silly and obvious.
Not just the mods. Admins can (and should) also moderate content in their instances, specially when it comes to the global rules. And it's clear that lemmy.ml admins want to do so, otherwise this thread wouldn't exist on first place.
Yeah, but the admins, as the thread has shown, are mainly reining in violations of sitewide policy. Instance rules are mainly the job of mods.
So the admins are reining in violations of lemmy.ml-wide policy... while lemmy.ml rules are mainly the job of the mods??? Congratulations, that's the dumbest thing that I've read today.
Couple the above with the backpedalling (from "This is what mods are for." to "Instance rules are mainly the job of mods."; emphasis on "mainly") - a sleight of hand, while lying that I was the one using a sleight of hand - and I'm led to the conclusion that you have nothing meaningful to add to this discussion, and can be safely ignored as dead weight and noise.
Unlike the above, does anyone here have any decent counter-argument against "migrating this comm to that other instance would be sensible"?
Comm rules exist in addition to instance rules. You know, like those where "knowing about anime" etc. might actually carry some importance. Your rush to do an own has left you speaking complete nonsense.
