!politics@lemmy.dbzer0.com

!politicalmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com

!vegan@lemmy.dbzer0.com

sick of moderation on some of the bigger instances and communities, I thought we could try hosting here, where I of course will only ever make the most correct moderation decisions.

everyone have a good laugh?

I’ll add mods but not yet. I’ll clarify rules as it becomes necessary.

I will remain the bdfl until db0 decides my incompetence is a detriment to his instance.

also looking to add some more current affairs type communities, but i think i’m rate-limited or something. if someone else wants to go ahead and make em, i’m interested!

Wasn’t there already !plantbased@lemmy.dbzer0.com for the last one?

nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 14 Jan 12:42 collapse

plant based is about a diet. I’m seeding the vegan community with stories about activism.

If you want activitism, !vegan@vegantheoryclub.org got you covered

nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 14 Jan 17:14 next collapse

I’m not a vegan, so I’m not welcome

Blaze@feddit.org on 14 Jan 21:45 collapse

Seems surprising to mod a vegan community then, but you do you

i like the topic, and i dare say i have a neutral point of view.

nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 14 Jan 21:34 collapse

none of that appears to be activism, it looks like awareness-raising/proselytizing. you’ll see the posts i’ve been making are about actually helping animals.

Oh great, more politics 🤢

This should bring the number of people who’ve had their minds changed by arguing about politics on the internet to -

Oh, still zero

Also, why not join !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca? Seems quite active.

nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 14 Jan 12:52 next collapse

one post every two weeks is not very active

Blaze@feddit.org on 14 Jan 16:01 collapse

I can be more if you post there. They already have 1200 subscribers, are on a reliable instance and not on LW. Not sure why you wouldn’t want to join this one.

Can you rename it to politicalmemesfromonlyonecountrythathasthemostboringpoliticsinthehistoryofmankindyettheystillbleataboutitonandonandonliketheyregoingtochangeanything

Blaze@feddit.org on 14 Jan 20:01 collapse

Also a valid point

Honestly, I do sometimes learn new things about politics from online comments, and when I learn new things, my opinions on certain politicians or parties may very well change. But I live in a country with more than two viable parties, not sure whether I would switch between voting Democratic or Republican based on online comments if I lived in the US.
