@ProfKinyon That's good to hear, I hope that transition goes well, and that the community supports it. The news you shared doesn't bode well for the wider trend.
It corroborates the idea that between traditional profit-taking scientific journals and the newer so-called "predatory" ones, the lines have already blurred.
(My suspicion is that the publisher's management is reacting to the growing market share of the latter type.)
Perhaps both types should be treated by the community similarly, that is, simply as disreputable -- not to mention highly costly/wasteful.

@ProfKinyon You can also consult with members of MathOA (https://www.mathoa.org/) for advice on how to set up a modern (flipped) journal within a community ownership structure, and consider other platforms, such as Centre Mersenne (https://www.centre-mersenne.org/en/) or Scholastica (https://scholasticahq.com/)
