Interesting News from Around the World

Previous post here lemmy.zip/post/61844, reposting as the community had to move due to vlemmy.net closing.

Why I created another news community?

Spreading the communities to not all be centered around a few big instances. Just a few days ago lemmy.world and lemmy.ml were down at the same time, rendering biggest news communities inaccesible.
I also was sad to see that a lot of “World News” communities had an exclusion rule of a certain region. Which made no sesne to me.

You mean they don't include US news, and yours does?

Correct.

I agree with you that more news communities is a good idea.

As well as your own new community, you would probably enjoy the world news at kbin social, their rules specifically state that US news is world news.

Ah, a fellow VLemmy refugee. It’s honestly a really big shame about our previous instance, but it looks like we each found a new home. I’ll join your new community, I like to be subscribed to as many of the news communities as possible.

Deez,

What was the story with Vlemmy, how come it closed?

The admin just bailed one day without saying a word or giving any warning. He was literally recruiting admins a day before. Some people though it was domain issues, but he closed all the support/donation links too.

Deez,

How weird!

I’m personally a believer that it was because he didn’t want to deal with the potential legal trouble from federated content, but it really is a mystery.

Even if that’s the case, it doesn’t excuse just bailing without any warning or explanation. It was a shitty thing to do.

Oh, no disagreements there. It was very shitty and greatly inconvenienced a great many people, pyarra could have at least posted a goodbye post and given us a warning before abandoning the instance.
