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.

It seems like the mod has abandoned the community and none of the posts seem like a very good look for our instance. [email protected]

As someone who moderates one of the larger communities on this instance I think we should be proactive in not giving other instances a reason to defederate from us. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

The bar seems to be set unreasonably low. I think the last popular 'de-federate sh.itjust.works' post was about a week old community with 1 member and 25 comments.

If the administration team's bar for de-federation is that low then there likely isn't much that we can do.

That being said, according to this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/139351 The creator has decided to move their community to another instance so the community is abandoned at this point and probably will be cleaned up eventually.

I wouldn't mind taking the community, I could make that community work with mostly harmless content. My name is based on a conspiracy theory. I was built for this.

You could have just offered to moderate it. Instead they reached out to me to try and help.

Your welcome to moderate over on https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]

I don’t see this as a competitive space. Would appreciate anyone who is willing to contribute.

Or, just make your own community.
