- Yes please, lemmy.world is awful (and in particular hosting there is a disservice to places like Beehaw that don't feel like dealing with the daily noise and have defederated from them)
- Programming.dev seems a little clueless to me in terms of the culture. I read a lot of the userbase's mindset as sort of "I aspire to be a rock star programmer, check me out I'm awesome" as opposed to "I am good at programming and take it seriously because I care about it." Of course there is always variability based on the individual, and that first thing is in no short supply anywhere on the internet.
- I fully agree with whoever it was that said not everyone will move and that's okay. You might shut down the old community but just be aware that bottom line, the users are going to do what they want to do.
- Maybe sh.itjust.works or lemmy.sdf.org or lemm.ee? Or infosec.pub? All of those seem extremely nerd-friendly without being overly self-important about it.

I am so happy I didn't chose lemm.ee.
Yeah... it is sad. I think the same qualities of "giving a shit" that make people create good servers also lead them to burn out easily, because they take the bullshit of the internet to heart. I wish them good things. It sucks.

Thats interesting, I didn't notice that.
I may avoid moving it to .ee, its the second largest server, and while its better i'd like to bring it somewhere smaller.
Second largest by number of users, but 0 Lemm.ee communities in the top 20 most active: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active
Looks like its going to stay that way : /
