This is exactly how I feel. Maybe I need to re-read theDude's OP about the direction of the instance but I thought this was a place to discuss the Administration of this instance, so why would people from other instances get the same say and input? You don't vote for other country's elections...

If you read the community description, nowhere does it say this is a place to discuss admin of this instance. That's my issue. If we want a place for that, I totally agree there's value in that. But either the description needs to be completely changed or it needs to be somewhere else.

A simple line added to the top of the description that this is meant to be "the agora (of sh.itjust.works)" would fix that. The description made sense to me when I read it and implied that already but that's probably because I came here immediately after reading the original post announcing this place and it's purpose.
