If you still have legacy social, agitation over there is doing rounds right now. Unfortunately, there’s significantly fewer of us working to get people onboarded than the last migration. If you still have those accounts, please consider plugging fedi.

One possible group on Reddit to reach out to are the people doing /r/50501 - they're organizing a large protest on Feb 5th, but it looks like a continuing resistance movement. They have more visibility on platforms outside of the Fediverse, but it's only a matter of time before those platforms begin to throttle their visibility.

If they also grow a 50501 community on the Fediverse, when the throttling inevitably happens and the news pays attention to it, both their movement and the Fediverse will get a boost. They'll probably lose their ability to organize on Reddit, but they will win more followers and help develop a better social media system.

If they promise not to link back to Reddit, I'd like to host them here.

Might be worth talking to the Mods there about having a parallel community here.

After all, one way to protest about the distortions to the political debate is to get off the Big Web. As I said back on The Bad Place - get out and get organised.

There is [email protected] but idk if it's the same mods

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Would you consider linking to [email protected] and [email protected] in the sidebar? Fedigrow has similar aims, and monitoring Reddit provides useful insight on where to expect (or recruit :) new users from.

Spaduf hasn't been here for the last few months. I asked @[email protected] to make my alt a mod (https://slrpnk.net/post/17636445/13658180 ), let's see how it goes.

Fedigrow has similar aims

Not exactly, Fedigrow is about internal growth (communities, consolidation), this one is more about external promotion

Spaduf seems to have been active as of a few days ago, so not sure why it needs my involvement?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Last comment 6 days ago, with the rate things are going, it would be nice to have an additional mod to be able to pin/unpin posts, such as the latest guide from @[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yo 👋

I wouldn't mind being thrown in the ringer if that's alright with you, poVoq.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You have a slrpnk account ? Mod actions don't federate

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mod actions do I think, reports don't.

If I had to I wouldn't mind creating one. But you have one, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pinning and unpinning doesn't work.

I do, it's the one linked above.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

So that's why it's so funky on my .ee 😅

As I said I have a lot of alts for modding anyway, one more wouldn't hurt 🥲

Edit but it's only a mere suggestion for me to mod. It's povoqs choice on who to pick, of course

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Since Spaduf is not really inactive I would prefer to wait for their feedback or own action in this matter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Seems fair.

I might create another one in the meantime, we can always close it later when Spaduf comes back.

@[email protected] , would you like to help me with a new community on dbzer0? We can also use the wiki features of the instance

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

No problem, I'll create it and add you as a mod

Check the matrix.

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

Wait!

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

Probably the best choice. We've been talking about the idea of a second mod since despite him being active, it's only a comment every couple of days or a text in matrix room. Though let's see what he has to say.

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

I see the distinction, but also feel that there is enough overlap that they could be merged, if advantageous. For now, both fedigrow and fedibridge seem to have decent activity, so perhaps no further action is necessary.

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

I'm actually now a mod of this community, I'll probably suggest to lock it down when I have some time
