Edit: Update: community is created, !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz !
Edit: Update: posted to !mander@mander.xyz for their feedback: https://reddthat.com/post/20241853
Hello everyone,
The most current active community is !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml.
Due to all the discussions that are now happening on !fediverse@lemmy.world about moving away from lemmy.ml due to their abuse moderation practices (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531), should we consider creating an alternative.
!dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world exists but seems unmanaged and I would rather avoid another LW community.
Maybe we could contact mander.xyz at !mander@mander.xyz to see what they think?
Update: mander.xyz has now solved their federation issues! https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/cdfzs0dwal3pca/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=All&var-remote_instance=mander.xyz&var-remote_software=All&from=now-12h&to=now
@Beaver@lemmy.ca and @ElCanut@jlai.lu, you seem to be the most regular posters of this type of content, what to you think about this idea of a new initiative on mander.xyz?
Pinging @Five@slrpnk.net as well, and @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al
I’ve been a huge fan of the science memes, I’ll explore and chat more. I’m already curious about what natural sciences means.
Looks like an interesting instance. We could use the extra redundancy in the fediverse. I could always use more science in my life :)
Nice! Would you be interested in becoming a mod of the new community !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz too (to be created)? :)
I would love to help where I can, I’m always down for statistics <3
Great! Feel free to comment on !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz, I’ll appoint you as a mod!
There made a comment under the latest post.
You are now a mod, welcome onboard!
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!
@otter@lemmy.ca is a mod on !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml, 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, !science@mander.xyz, everything seems reasonable: https://mander.xyz/modlog/11072
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
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
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.
