Polyamory & Open Relationships
Polyamory (from Ancient Greek πολύς (polús) 'many', and Latin amor 'love') is the practice of, or desire for, romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved.[1][2] Some people who identify as polyamorous believe in consensual non-monogamy with a conscious management of jealousy and reject the view that sexual and relational exclusivity (monogamy) are prerequisite for deep, committed, long-term, loving relationships.[3] Others prefer to restrict their sexual activity to only members of the group, a closed polyamorous relationship that is usually referred to as polyfidelity.[4][5]

I like that it's inclusive. There's so many flavours to non monogamy including polyamorousness and open relationships, so I feel like something like the NM flag has everyone covered.
LoL, NM = NonMonogamy. Cool. Also I just discovered there already is a Polyamory group on Lemmy.World . :-/ Somehow I didn't find it when I was searching this morning.
The cool thing about the Fediverse is that we're able to have multiple separate communities for the same thing. Ideally, most get activity, and if one goes down there are plenty of others to flock to. Also allows for different rules and enforcement and vibes. Unlike Reddit it's not a total loss to end up making a dupe community.
I'll take that as a vote to keep this community. TY!
