lemmit.online ?

This sub is used mostly for providing support to those who didn’t want to register on official forum. It has little traction, memes, shitposting and engagement in general

So its value stems from users providing support to the main product – rather than being engagement farm which is profitable to reddit

btw, just to let folks know – there’s a similar community from our federation friends [email protected]

I’ve got a lot of stuff on my plate at the moment but I appreciate the willingness to share the position of power with another political party. I wish people from other instances could weigh in and fill this role

@masterofballs, maybe you got anyone in mind?

Imagine alt-right activitist would open this community saying exact same thing you do: “don’t worry, I’m going to respect my rules”. His community would get on board, some more radical than others. The most eager ones would be breaking the rules delivering his points but he’ll be reluctant to deliver the justified ban. He’d try to weasel out from this responsibility saying anything to get the party going.

Knowing all that in advance, why would you trust this person in the first place?

In fact, this situation already happened in the past. Look at lemmy.ml, initially non communist platform, but has been routinely raided by communists because they know admin will almost always be on their side (even if they break the rules). So, quite often they are very comfortable harassing others. Were admins’ intentions not pure from the start? I think not, it’s just a tough thing to do: to moderate space if you keep an ideology in mind.

How are you different?

Right off the bat, can you see perhaps a bit of bias which this community is bound to saturate over? I mean, you’re going to be the mod and you have a clear ideology

Given this, I’d argue it’s not exactly a universal community for various sources but rather “talking points” of your community supported by sources you deem sufficient

At this point, I’m wondering why it is not hosted on lemmygrad to clearly show its alignment?

I hope one day philosophy will lower the barrier to its entry and allow people with lower attention span (like me), to engage with it on equal grounds

P.S. shout out to @[email protected] who writes amazing questions / articles on philosophy and morals

Like politics, philosophy surrounds all of us but unlike politics it takes a lot of energy to meaningfully engage with it. And once you do, the vocab gets technical and hard to follow which in turn just closets philosophy inside its bubble once again.
