I am not sure i agree that lemmy has a mostly crap community but unlike reddit downvotes don't actually matter so its a good alternative to reddit for this. even if this is the only part of lemmy that i am active on. everything else is like the worst of reddit on steroids but at least it doesn't have reddits biggest flaw (carma) as well as less censorship in theory but this is part of lemmy .world so they can enforce some rules on here so they should have made their own lemmy instance but that is harder to do. but its weird how a platform that is made to be less censorable is mostly used by people who are pro censorship .

I mean, if you're going to volunteer to create this all yourself, by all means, do so. I sincerely doubt that the dev will actually do this, and if you do end up doing this all yourself, you're going to hit a few roadblocks:

• Recruiting moderators: You'll have to recruit users to be moderators for this forum and make sure you can trust them, make sure they won't power trip, unfairly block or ban users, or just be a dickhead in general.
• Running the forum in general: You're going to have to be spending a lot of hours on the actual forum itself to moderate it yourself when moderators aren't online, actively banning people who are causing trouble.
• Promoting: You're going to have to find some sort of way to promote the forum. You're obviously not going to pull everyone away from Lemmy, but that's fine. You don't want anti-AI people so that's kind of the point.

While this might seem a little difficult, it's not entirely impossible. Many generators on Perchance are created by users like you anyways, not everything is made by John Perchance himself, he just writes the code. You're the ones who use the code to your own liking.

I have a feeling that this is actually in the plan but not on the schedule. The Hub and the advance comment plugin look like an attempt (and the multiple players/database), but the focus shift on the endless upgrading of image and text AI.
