The Agora
In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.
Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.
Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

I guess you guys gave up on the whole "democracy" thing quickly, eh?
I'm just along for the ride but Federated and Democratic are 2 different things. Also they're not preventing them from existing and creating content, they're just not cross-hosting them. I prefer my Lemmy Nazi-Free.
Democracy can't support Fascism because Fascists only want to abuse the freedoms of Democracy in order to destroy it.
I never said federated and democratic were the same thing. I may have disagreed with past defederation, but at least it was put to a vote first, unlike this one that's effectively been done as "act first, open for discussion later", seemingly entirely because one random guy with no history raised a post calling for defederation. That's not how I want this instance, or really any platform in general, to operate.
Ultimately it's his instance, his liability if shit goes sideways, so his call to make.
I don't think it's the end of democratic anything, and it seems to be more because another instance took action and defederated than the call of a single person, because context matters.
The statement referenced said there was no responsive administration at rammy as reported by a rammy user and attempts to reach admins by others were not successful.
That's very different from what you're trying to claim.
