Hello everyone,

The most current active community is [email protected].

Due to all the discussions that are now happening on [email protected] about moving away from lemmy.ml due to their abuse moderation practices (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531), should we consider creating an alternative.

[email protected] exists but seems unmanaged and I would rather avoid another LW community.

Maybe we could contact mander.xyz at [email protected] to see what they think?

    My opinion about this is that the fediverse seems a bit quiet recently, and maybe it would be better to stay on an instance and accept their default rather than creating a new one. But hey, fediverse also means decentralization, so it might be worth a shot, I’ll try to post in both communities and see what happens.

    Is there someplace where I could find more information about mander admins ? I don’t want to have the same debate in 3 months because there is a problem with their moderation policy

      Hello,

      Thank you for your comment!

      @[email protected] is a mod on [email protected], so we might even close it so that people will be encouraged to move to the new community.

      About mander.xyz, they have been quite active lately to upgrade their instance (https://jlai.lu/post/7842647?scrollToComments=true).

      I had a look at the modlog of their “flagship” community, [email protected], everything seems reasonable: https://mander.xyz/modlog/11072

        Yes I’ll see about pinning a message next time I’m on Desktop, to redirect anyone that is looking there.

        Looking through the recent posts, the old community wasn’t getting that many new posts already

        Modlog is a limited way of knowing the admins values. I really hope one day we’ll have cooperative owned servers, but in the meantime we can only speculate and hope the admins will behave reliably

          Indeed, but it seems that nowadays people are comfortable calling out power tripping admins, so as nothing has been reported about mander.xyz, they seem fine

      PS: The new community has 1.75k weekly active users after 3 days, so hopefully is will catch-up with the lemmy.ml 2.54k monthly active users soon.
