Have you been following any of the discussions regarding potential issues with the administration and moderation on ml?

Can't say I have.

However, I originally made this community back in the day when lemmy.ml was basically the only instance, and have since then moved my account to another instance (2 years ago) specifically for those same reasons of lemmy.ml being... hmm.. politically charged.

I didn't think of moving the community until now tbh, but that's not really something I can do. At most I could sticky a link to another community, or delete this one (which would be overkill imo), but for that to happen there needs to be a different community to begin with and community interest for it to happen. The power's all yours people. It's up to you guys to show interest and initiative. Maybe make a post about this, and check if there's interest, discuss where to move etc, a meta post like this is totally fine here on /c/freecad.

Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, the community image did update after awhile, but in the wrong direction! It was the new logo on slrpnk.net/c/freecad@lemmy.ml for awhile, where my account is, but now I see that when the things synced the old lemmy.ml/c/freecad image overwrote the new one on slrpnk.net/c/freecad@lemmy.ml! I guess I can't change the image as a mod from another instance. I will have to mod my old lemmy.ml account here now to change the image (and hopefully it will stick this time around, assuming it works at all) but I will have to make a bug report on github about this when I find the time.

Sorry for the late reply tho.
