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.

Much obliged, TendieMaster.
A seat will be awaiting you on the Supreme Council on the day I assume the throne.
Edit: oh shit, this was supposed to be a PM!!

Yea @imaqtpie, Yea @annegreen, Yea @Seraph089.
From account history they have good engagement.
Nay @Apytele, Nay @sweetholymosiah.
Limited engagement. Can't really comment on them yet.
Nay @goat, Nay @difficult_bit_1339.
Actively enshittening Agora and flame warring since its inception. @goat is evidently some manner of troll and "controversy" isn't a selling point for moderation. This is an alt for his burggit account; he's butted heads with admins over there because not allowing gore isn't "free".

Hey, it’s me! For what it’s worth, I’m excited to see this community grow and would be happy to be a part of the mod team helping guide it. Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for this community. I don’t have a lot of experience with online moderation, but I do a lot of conflict resolution and strategy, which I feel are valuable skills for a moderator. If you choose me for a mod, I commit to helping make sure this instance and this community hold to their original vision of being friendly, chill, and democratic. I feel like I’ve already been able to bring some valuable contributions to the table, like the idea to use the [vote] format, and I believe I’ve got a lot more to offer the community. Thanks!

My first order of business would be developing a more organized way of voting here. No offense to TheDude, he's got a lot on his plate.
Agreed. I think we need to separate the discussion from the vote. It’s confusing to have amendments take place on voting posts as discussion develops. We also need clear parameters on how to draft a vote and then how the vote gets resolved.

(Limiting the vote to 1 person and not allowing us to rank is severly limiting, especially for a consensus-based community decision making system as what I remember being described in the post that announced the creation of the Agora.)
@[email protected] I support, while Goat's method of engagement I think is fine for a member of the community but isn't mod-material. Not a chill dude, and seeing how people have reacted to him already he would be starting from a position of adversity with too much of the community.

Seraph089
Of course I'll vote for myself, but I'm happy to see that it's a close race. Win or lose, I'll be here trying my best to help our budding democracy flourish.
Vote: imaqtpie
Additional commentary: goat in particular seems based on activity to be trolling/sealioning/derailing discussions

Hard to pick...do you go purely off engagement? The fact some actually Moderate something already? Computer knowledge? Vibes?
I'll do a bit of everything and go Apytele
Let's go feral, but be flaky about it.
server admin nominates blatant fascist to moderate
Aight I'mma head out. I've given you enough benefit of the doubt, but now you have made yourself clear. Beehaw was right to defederate you.
TheDude didn't nominate anyone, these are the names that threw their hats in the ring. If anything, our admin is taking a hands off approach and letting the community decide.
So, please, help us decide!
to be fair, this is just a list of everyone who threw a hat in the ring on the other post

Aye @iamqtpie, aye @annegreen aye @Seraph089
imaqtpie
@[email protected] gets my vote. Though @Difficult_[email protected] is a really close second, wish we could vote for more than one candidate.
Sorry, dude, but this vote is primarily for Sh.it. users
feel free to make an account though~!

Hard to choose between seraph089 and apytele. Both active in the Agora (an important qualification), both with well thought-out comments there that I think show they're putting real serious thought into the community...
I flipped a coin between them, it said @[email protected].
EDIT: Just went more seriously through Difficult_Bit_1339's comment history, should have been a d3 :P Plenty of votes for them though, so I'll stick with my vote.
EDIT2: Oh, I'm dumb, should probably do my vote as a separate comment so it's easier to count.
