Thanks for your perspective.

[...] went a bit too far [...]

Yes, I think all our internal drama, politics and how it's handled in the software leaves a lot of room for improvement. We should try to cut down on that. It'd help new users and people who just don't want to talk and not be bothered with all the quirks.

[...] we can't expect a single poster (LadyButterFly) to keep this community active [...]

That's indeed an issue. I know how it feels and it takes a special type or person to do it to begin with.

If you are interested in raising the quality of this community, could you maybe try to post here once a day?

I'm sorry, I can't. I already do this for other communities. I'm also active in other areas, I contribute to PieFed development... And there's only so much I can do in a day.

Plus as I said I'm opposed to the concept. I think it was necessary in the beginning, but now our focus needs to change. I post 100% genuine questions which come from my heart only. And only articles I read and I think other people want to read specifically that article instead of the 5000 other ones in some feeds on the internet, because we really have enough of a flood of information. I don't post for engagement. Not even in this case (any more).

"curated technology" community with you, and see if there is interest?

That'd be a nice idea. I would have liked the new piefed.social communities to be exactly that. But if it were me, I'd ban people who post and don't comment. Or once I see they didn't actually read what they copied. Interesting idea, though, I'll think about it.
