"Major opposition parties rejected the NHI Bill. But with the support of five one- or two-seat parties, the ANC got the necessary approval on Tuesday."

The post on the rules got me thinking about this.

The need to have some form of an understanding of decentralised systems is a slight downfall to the fediverse concept, in my opinion. Just signing up can be confusing for a start as people generally don't want to think further than providing an email to log into whatever is being served. People certainly do not want to think about how they conduct themselves without bots and algorithms moderating them. This is probably not our average reddit user I'm talking about here. I think Reddit has somewhat prepared it's subscribers in that we are now used to sub instances, moderated by (mostly)humans, within a single server instance. Hence the migration here. Now, let's do multiple server instances all over the world, all intertwined, with multiple layers of regulations dependant on the server you are posting on et cetera?... could be a bit of a brain full. Kind of sounds like I had to google my way into this community, right?

So here we are, just a few, who made it over. I don't know whether it was just my subs, but I always had a strong feeling of a big SA presence on Reddit. Some good, some bad. Nonetheless, I would love to get the best of the South African presence from reddit here. Does anyone feel that way, and if so, what are your thoughts on how we can make this move easier for our fellow war heros lost on read-only reddit?

Please suggest rules for this community. Let keep it simple and short and let try to accommodate everyone! :)

Think the first one should be RESPECT.

There was a reason that r/RSA was created and that was because of mod abuse and censorship of anything outside of their own narrative. Can we be sure that this community will not end up the same?
