FYI @tfm@europe.pub
You need to ask mods of the new communities to configure them to only allow their target language.
Most of the communities on jlai.lu only allow French.
Thanks, updated!
Thank you @XenGi@feddit.org
Seems great!
You may want to maybe start a dedicated community and/or Matrix space, it might be easier to organize than here
I kind of see where they come from too, but the way they present it just seems strange
Definitely the biggest threats around
I never really understood how it’s managed. I guess Twitter allows you to see a tiny bit of content but then login walls you when you try to navigate
Twitter was closing read access so only members could /read/ posts.
It is indeed the case
Creating a new platform would take time. Mastodon is there, the European Commission already has an instance: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission
Depends on the place. Cities that are also economical centers like London, Paris or Barcelona would probably be okay (locals in those places are usually in favor of less tourism, as it kind of kills their local vibes). Tourist only places might suffer.
Interesting! Well, it’s kind of a tough case. If anyone here knows someone who works for LU, how has things changed since they belong to Mondelez? Maybe there is a difference, but it’s not like Kraft or Danone are pop and mom stores
Thanks for sharing
Thank you @BachtnDeKuupe@lemm.ee , and welcome to Lemmy!
And I’m just going to copy paste what I put in another posts about crossposts
My personal stance on this is that
If rules, moderation policies and admin policies are similar, there should only be one community on a single topic while we have a userbase below 100k
This allows for !politics@lemmy.world and !politics@hexbear.net to coexist, as there is a reason for them to (different moderation policies). It’s similar for !climate@slrpnk.net and !climatehope@lemmy.world, as those communities have different principles and perspectives on their topic.
This suggests to consolidate communities like !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@lemm.ee
Another recent example is
These three communities have similar rules, similar moderation and admin policies. They should be consolidated. And I know this is a very controversial topic, but I made a longer post recently on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for people interested.
In summary, my main argument is that
To take a recent example
https://jlai.lu/post/16318139/13038429
There is a natural tendency of “one community emerges as the main one” on several topics
If one community does not emerge as the main one, it’s usually because two or more regular posters maintain both communities active by posting to their preferred community.
So, my suggestions are to consolidate similar communities. This single decision will not make this platform similar to Reddit. On Reddit, you had no way to complain about power tripping mods, there were no public modlogs, and discourse criticizing the mods or the admins would get silenced.
Here, we have !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and recent examples have shown that the community can actually resist power tripping: https://feddit.org/post/7025680/4263481.
If the mods of the consolidated community start to power trip, document this on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and reorganize on the alternative communities. If not, stay on that one community, to foster more active conversations and posts.
That’s the theory we encourage on !fedigrow@lemm.ee, feel free to join us there to discuss this further.
