The speed that this happened suggests they might have gotten spooked by something. Put down the pitchforks mates and give them a chance to explain first.

EDIT: Welp, I expected an explanation by now...

If there's anything they should be spooked by, it's the pitchforks!

Ill take a pitchfork in the guts any day if it keeps me away from being a debt slave to Disney for the rest of my life.

Don't you guys have an admin chat group. Or at least you guys would have some way of keeping in touch since this has happened before.

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 58 points 7 months ago

We do, in fact. They never gave a heads-up, and none has responded until now. I found about this from this post

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 7 months ago

That's unfortunate.

[-] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 7 months ago

Well at least they honored their commitments /s

[-] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 7 months ago

To be fair they do say they "need to be" transparent, not that they were going to be :p

[-] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 7 months ago

🤣

"Just a heads up for when we do this again: we know that it sucks, and we are doing it anyway."

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

It's funny because someone on their team started banning people from that thread for disagreeing with their stance then when called out for it they quietly changed the instance bans for community bans, in an awesome display of pure pettiness one would normally see on Reddit.

When I described the previous removal as LW having a feud with dbzer0, that was why.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 7 months ago

They've just posted.

It's not a good explanation. The only thing that changed was their own minds.

[-] Lath@kbin.earth 10 points 7 months ago

They got lawyered maybe.

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 13 points 7 months ago

I'm doubtful

Wouldn't be surprised if they got some personally delivered letters from the legal department of a big media company, given that they blocked visibility to some magazines on other servers.
