(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.
You must log in or register to comment.
I’m interested, but what would this self-governing entail? How would you stop abuse of the system?
Well much of that would have to be decided by the community but different anarchist ideas could be tested. One idea could be Regular Soritition of admins/mods who are in charge of removing posts that need to be removed, etc. All decisions could be debated by all members of the community who use consensus voting to override admin decisions or decide the direction the community goes in.
As for abuse of the system, that could mean a lot of different things. Could you give me an example of what you’re referring to?
(btw is the link working for you? others have said it’s broken but it works on my end)
The link does work, it just takes absolutely forever to load, that’s probably why they thought it was broken
My concern is abuse of democracy, people could make multiple accounts pretending to be one person and influence decisionmaking that way.
Only users that are trusted enough could participate in decision making. You might have to have an account for x days or have x amount of post/ comment points. It would need to be something that needs to be worked.
Certainly interesting!
I have received feedback that a more clear goal is important before I begin. I’m going to create a new draft then begin to find people to start it with. If you’re interested I can send you the new draft when it’s done.
Sounds good to me!
Hi! Here’s a new doc with all ideas being much more thoroughly explained. I hope you’ll consider helping out in some way. :)
