Are the admins officially letting this community exist, or have they just not responded about this? I realize it'd probably only been on their radar for hours, and the community is only 4 days old. But if they're okay with this community, I'm going to be worried.

My dim understanding is that "the admins" is one guy with a day job.

Yeah, I'd like a statement from the admins. That would clarify their stance.

See for their response: https://lemmy.ml/comment/909446

The Agora: https://sh.itjust.works/c/agora

Seems like a good way to test the concept of the Agora. Reading some comments here and elsewhere, many people appear to not be interested in democracy, and would rather have swift action from a leading group/person. I suspect this gives a hint at the fragmentation of the Fediverse, to come, where the tolerance of a single users action results in defederation. As instances grows to tens of thousands, I imagine the hunt for these people will become intense, with policing groups made to squash the wrongthink, in order to protect the federation.

I personally like the democracy approach.

After-all, its what drove the protests on reddit, and eventually landed up in many of us coming to here.

It's like people learn to stop sniffing their own farts for two minutes to have a protest and migrate to Lemmy, then they come here and just start sniffing their own farts again. What's the point of leaving if you want to turn the new place into the same as the old place?
