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?

    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
