sh.itjust.works Main Community

I could be wrong here (so forgive me), but wasn't one of the reasons that people flocked to this instance and others was because they didn't want some 'overseer' to make judgments on their behalf? Did they not come here for the freedom to choose what was important and meaningful to them and disregard that which wasn't?

I realize that there are growing pains going on here - that these instances which have been fairly unknown and relatively steady in their user base have now exploded in popularity and have caused many an issue upon communities and admins that were not prepared for such an explosive influx of users.

If we all really want to come together as a community, I believe it is important to understand all of the dynamics that are currently evolving and allow some time for all of this tumult (and influx of users) to settle down before demanding certain actions to be taken.

Inevitable, the fee instances and the non-free instances tend to sort themselves out and clump together

Everyone i don't like is a Nazi/tankie/label. The internet is so predictable and boring around this.

Doesn't help when tech has sided with one US political party and we have to pretend that people need to fight amongst each other on identity bullshit issues instead of the political and corporate class doing whatever they want with their power imbalance

But hey, blue Vs red, this Vs that. Cry victim and bully...

We need users to curate their own content instead of demanding circlejerks of identical ideology and inconsistent rules.
