What is the rational behind creating another version of a healthy and popular community?

Was there a moderation issue? Is this just to diversify the instances? Isn't this antithetical to your previously demonstrated campaigns to consolidate conversations on a topic to a single community?

Technical issue on LW preventing aussie.zone from participating: https://aussie.zone/post/18420943

Isn’t this antithetical to your previously demonstrated campaigns to consolidate conversations on a topic to a single community?

I always said that parallel communities were fine as long as there was a reason to have a separation, be it technical, about moderation, or culture.

Also, Ask communities are quite popular, this is not going to be the same news articles shared across three communities and splintering the discussion.

Finally, if someone wants to comment under each of the posts on [email protected] about [email protected] and [email protected], feel free.

What's wrong with Aussie.zone

99.99% of the time you see the phrase "power tripping admins" it means "Someone asked me to follow the rules".

No, but they're not out there making the daily argument for the most active communities of the same name being the only communities of the same name.

I get that nuance is a thing, but maybe you are not the one to be the standard barer for this one, given how it conflicts with your very public lobbying for consolidation? I say this with kindness and respect, but it does make you come across as more controlling and manipulatuve than well intentioned.

Interesting how you think that's what my instance is, when I have said multiple times that [email protected] and [email protected] should stay parallel communities.

Nuance, indeed

I'm not really understanding, is it you want to defederate from Aussie.zone because we're slow to update?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pretty much the opposite, the sync between lemm.ee and aussie.zone goes much faster than between lemmy.world and aussie.zone so having the [email protected] allows you guys to interact without having to wait for hours and hours for comments to sync between instances.

Ah that's awesome, I'm all on board

@[email protected] , would you like to help me mod? You seem to be doing a good job on the LW version. I know you don't have a lemm.ee account, but it seems like with 0.19.9 most of the mod actions should work, we can at least give it a try

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure. Since Lemmy version 1.0.0 seems to be coming pretty soon (which should fix the reports federation issue), I'm assuming I won't need to create a new account on lemm.ee. The community is pretty small right now anyway, so I'm not expecting any reports at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Thank you for accepting, you are now a mod!

I've just had two reports yesterday, but hopefully the number should indeed stay low

I'll promote it more widely later, in the meantime, feel free to chime in
