Howdy Y’all,

With the subreddit opening today there’s been plenty of questions regarding whether or not we’d be shutting down this instance.

Short answer is : “No”

Long answer is : “Noooooooooooo”

There’s no reason to, and as far as things go this has mostly been ignored by the mod team at large, outside of a few of us (me, gloom, willpauer) there really hasn’t been any legitimate discussion or focus given.

With that, I don’t intend to close this magazine, and instead keep it open and, if anything, try to more actively work on building an alternative community here as an offshoot for those who prefer to stick to the fediverse rather than reddit going forward.

That being said, kbin is having it’s growing pains and there is discussion about this versus Lemmy, I am open to any discussions or suggestions about what next steps we should consider in this community.

For those of you who have been trying to grow something here: I see you, I respect you, and I don’t intend to do anything to stifle that.

Whatever reason you have for coming to this corner of the IWC, as long as you’re respecting one another you’re welcome here.

    I’m glad you’re sticking it out, an alternative to reddit is definitely needed and if everyone jumps back now the bulk of the drama is over (for now) then we’re never going to see one.

    I hope this place flourishes, even if that means I’m going to have to remove my lurker mindset that I’ve built up over the years.
