(I think this is probably an okay place to post this, lmk if not)

Looking for collaborators to create a new instance of Lemmy. Among other things this instance will differ from existing ones by having a self-governing structure. Check out the very rough draft linked below to learn about my current vision for this community. Much on the doc will change based on other people’s ideas. This community’s goal is for it to belong to the community. No specific skills needed, but please read through the concept outline before getting in touch. Any type of contribution is amazing. You just have to be interested. Join me in creating a unique and innovative platform.

    I’ll leave it here for now, although I see you’ve cross-posted to several, perhaps more applicable communities.

    Primarily because I’m not exactly sure what will happen to the cross-posts if I delete the original. :)

    However, in the spirit of this community, some other places you may want to investigate (with no qualification on traffic, users/subs or qty of posts):

    https://apollo.town/c/communityrequests https://lemmy.perthchat.org/c/lemmyinstances <- instance promotion https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_instances <- instance announcement https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/suggestions <- instance suggestions

    I’d be interested in this. I’ve been thinking about something similar.* Not with full self-governance necessarily, but with some elements of it for sure. There’s lots of problems that can come up and that I have no solution for yet. If you have some place set up to discuss further and share ideas, let me know.

    *~Thinking of how we can build a community that fosters healthy discussions with a diverse community. “Free speech” if you will, but with well established boundaries to maximize freedom of speech for all parties, not the BS kind that Elon Musk had been peddling.~
