If someone creates a community for their XMPP project, that should obviously be allowed. But what about tangentially related technologies or XMPP-focused general discussion communities? Eg. would an IETF KITTEN Working Group community be disallowed because it’s not specific to XMPP (not that they’re likely to create a group, I was just trying to think of something tangentially related)? What about a group to discuss XMPP Security or XMPP UX that’s not specifically tied to a project or group? It may be worth us developing a policy on this early on to stop conflicts before they arise and to stop having to grandfather in to many groups if we decide later that they’re out of scope.
I don’t think it needs “unofficial” in the name, it’s not like that on reddit and other social media as well, right? Also what @poVoq@lemmy.ml says
