Yeah, again... unpopular opinion but just embrace the transience. How necessary is "transferring" a community. There's very few communities with content that provides some kind of reference.
There are projects that will just scrape the whole site. Some of these are used as a build step in producing static sites even.
A static version wouldn't work with any clients of any kind of course. It would be browser-based with the default or whatever frontend you scraped it with.
I'm not necessarily opposed to this idea. However... and I understand that this opinion is not widely held among lemmy users... IMO the best approach is to just embrace the transience of the fediverse - that's it's strength. Instances are easy come easy go. Have multiple accounts on multiple instances and change them according to your mood.
When instance admins choose to move on, they're not letting us down or whatever. They've completed their part of the mission and handing over to someone else.
I don't know what communities there are on lemm.ee which are about to be discontinued. There might be some that want to keep their content available, but maybe that's better managed on a community level.
My intention is not to criticise Greta, but the army of fools who seem to think she's worthy of admiration. There are innumerable people more successful in addressing the issues Greta is vocal about, and more deserving of praise.
Sure Greta might be doing more than others her age, but we generally don't praise people on that basis.
I can't comment on whether the admins are likely to be open to this, but it's definitely more drama than simply shutting down.
The data users provided to lemm.ee was entrusted to the admins of that instance. It might not seem like a big deal, but just handing it over isn't really appropriate.
Honestly I think it's more remarkable that she has such a dedicated following despite not really being special.
Yesterday I watched an interview with an Australian doctor with Médecins Sans Frontières in a hospital in Gaza. She was talking about how they've run out supplies, simple things like crepe bandages, and how one of the most common injuries is infants and toddlers with missing limbs.
That's what a real actual hero looks like. Meanwhile Greta is on a boat posting to her socials.
Edit: by the way, and I don't mean this in a haughty "I'm cleverer than you" kind of way, you make quotes by starting a line with the right square-bracket:
I said pretty much everyone I'm Ukraine or gaza is braver than Greta.
When challenged, I provided the 20k people that I thought were the most salient examples to juxtaposition against Greta, which does not imply that the remaining population is not braver, just less analogous.
The chances that Greta would be injured are infinitesimal, far less than any man woman or child in Gaza.
You can do sound with your definition of "bravery" if you wish, but ultimately Greta is an entitled influencer.
Wikipedia says there are 20,000 women in combat roles in Ukraine, who have chosen to put their life in danger for others when they don't have to. Most of them don't post videos about it.
The answer is, she's a serial protester and very successful at getting arrested.
There are innumerable people who are actually achieving things but no one cares.
For example, medicines sans frontiers has medical professionals in Gaza. I haven't seen any posts about them on lemmy. Those people have been being heroes every day for many months.
I don wonder what her actual role is on the boat. I suspect she's head person in charge of raising awareness.
Do people really make comments with that level of gravity though?
