MODERATORS
Are we able to request new community additions? I'm unsure how these get added - is it just mod discretion or is there some sort of community involvement?
mod discretion but it's ultimately a pretty involved process. in this case: we took a bunch of suggestions from people, weeded out ones which we didn't think would work, hammered out scope and function of the remaining communities, then polled the whole site on which ones they'd actively contribute to. in this case we picked six out of 17 possible ideas after those steps (the two most popular ideas, two popular-ish ideas we also liked, and two niche-r ideas we thought would be good and unique additions to our community).
That was quick! Thanks for putting everything together 🙂
~~I'd be happy to throw my hat in for helping with moderation. I'm partial to /c/tabletop since that's my primary hobby in life, but if I can be useful at any point in any community, please let me know! Thanks :)~~
Nevermind, read the other post and submitted an application. Thanks a ton!
I would also love to see a smarthome community. As far as I know there is no such Community on Lemmy. I would of course help to moderate it if you need someone.
Anyways, I really like to see that Beehaw is growing and growing.
Thanks to everyone who is helping making it a better place.
I would also be interested in this community. Through my work, I have a fair bit of knowledge and experience to contribute.
Glad to see this
testing...
edit: please don't mind me, I am just testing the comment feature. I will use my own comment from now, hope you won't be getting notifications, if you do, I apologize in advance :)
test
Just a heads up, there is a test community on lemmy.ml if you need to test things out.
Thank you, I was not aware. Will use that community from now on :)
Can we have a “Good News” sub to complement [email protected]
Please come fill Betterment with positive mutual aid/community related news to the point we need a whole new Good News sub 😂🙏
Great news! And looking forward to take part in some of these new communities.
Awesome!
Sweet! We've gotten quite big so it is time to splinter off Chat and Gaming just a little...
Everyone on other instances be sure to "discover" these so they update over there.
Was consensus reached on what the vegan/vegetarian community will entail?
Vegetarian/vegan subjects whilst accepting that not everyone has the same views. Anyone that will not accept they have the only correct opinion is free to move elsewhere.
I blocked one person yesterday as they would only accept their own opinion as being the correct one and tried to brow beat others in agreeing. We're done with that here, let's leave it on R****t.
i have absolutely no idea what we're gonna do with that one to be honest. my personal opinion is that it's probably not worth the headache if people are going to make it a battleground and that's been the tendency since we announced it, but the other mods are substantially more optimistic on it than i am so we'll see
What is the debate? They’re two quite different things really, aren’t there two communities?
They’re two quite different things really, aren’t there two communities?
if we made them two separate communities they'd be two extremely dead ones, since even combined they were one of our least popular options. as result, we're trying to figure out how we can combine them without annoying people or having the community be full of annoying people that make it unfun for the people who'd use it to do so
Ok. I sorta get it but yeah as a vegan I gotta say vegetarianism kinda annoys me a bit just because like…. Why? Animals still suffer and get killed for vegetarian products so what’s ones reasoning behind being vegetarian? It doesn’t help environmental causes being vegetarian as animals still there to pollute and it clearly doesn’t tackle the animal cruelty problem. I do have the benefit of living somewhere I can easily get great vegan fake meat etc so I understand being vegetarian sometimes when this isn’t available so easily, for convenience sake (if that’s a morally justifiable excuse idk) but only with an aim toward veganism, in which case shared group makes sense. That’s where im at, I don’t mean it to be an offensive or aggressive position, it inherently feels it somehow obviously the world being so opposed to my view and me being so sure that the rest of the world just don’t yet see their psychopathy (just how nowadays it’s pretty clear slavery is wrong, 200 years ago peoples opinions less sure…)
