Hello m@teys,
I've been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we've been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn't a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we'll actually vote on this.
Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.
Have a good week!

governance type: sense check
After having discussed with a few people, Rimu agreed to drop the private voting. The system will switch to two votes button
a local one that will stay local
a federated one that will be sent to other instances

This provides better transparency than Lemmy, as users are now complaining about tool like lemvotes: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/48233901/19876557
It's crazy to see Rodneyck come up in this. I banned that account when it showed up to one of the communities I'm moderating 18 days ago and dropped five downvotes in quick succession. Something lemvotes helped me identify quickly.
