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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

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.
