Edit: Update: community is created, !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz !

Edit: Update: posted to !mander@mander.xyz for their feedback: https://reddthat.com/post/20241853

Hello everyone,

The most current active community is !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml.

Due to all the discussions that are now happening on !fediverse@lemmy.world about moving away from lemmy.ml due to their abuse moderation practices (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531), should we consider creating an alternative.

!dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world exists but seems unmanaged and I would rather avoid another LW community.

Maybe we could contact mander.xyz at !mander@mander.xyz to see what they think?

sh.itjust.works seems very solid

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It is indeed very solid, but my reasoning was more to highlight mander.xyz, which is science-focused.

They do a great work, and maybe having a "popular" community might help them (although that might already be happening with their science memes community)

Yea I requested the current community to keep an eye on it since the mod was not active. I haven't had a chance to properly promote it yet.

Mander.xyz is a solid instance and I think this community would do well there. It would fit in nicely with the other communities on there, and it might get more posts as a result

Ultimately I'm happy with wherever people would like to go with that community :)

Thank you for your comment!

I mean, lemm.ee is a very solid instance that also isnt overprone to defederating from everyone, if we're going by that.

[–] lemmee_in@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Can we have c/hmmm other than in LW?

Update: mander.xyz has now solved their federation issues! https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/cdfzs0dwal3pca/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=All&var-remote_instance=mander.xyz&var-remote_software=All&from=now-12h&to=now

@Beaver@lemmy.ca and @ElCanut@jlai.lu, you seem to be the most regular posters of this type of content, what to you think about this idea of a new initiative on mander.xyz?

[–] ElCanut@jlai.lu 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My opinion about this is that the fediverse seems a bit quiet recently, and maybe it would be better to stay on an instance and accept their default rather than creating a new one. But hey, fediverse also means decentralization, so it might be worth a shot, I'll try to post in both communities and see what happens.

Is there someplace where I could find more information about mander admins ? I don't want to have the same debate in 3 months because there is a problem with their moderation policy

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hello,

Thank you for your comment!

@otter@lemmy.ca is a mod on !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml, so we might even close it so that people will be encouraged to move to the new community.

About mander.xyz, they have been quite active lately to upgrade their instance (https://jlai.lu/post/7842647?scrollToComments=true).

I had a look at the modlog of their "flagship" community, !science@mander.xyz, everything seems reasonable: https://mander.xyz/modlog/11072

[–] ElCanut@jlai.lu 1 points 5 months ago

Modlog is a limited way of knowing the admins values. I really hope one day we'll have cooperative owned servers, but in the meantime we can only speculate and hope the admins will behave reliably
