Dear European enthusiasts,
We're excited to grow Europe Pub and need your help to make it thrive! We're looking for passionate individuals to join us as community builders and moderators.
What we need:
- Community builders to breathe life into our existing communities
- Moderators for country-specific communities who speak the native languages
Why native-speaking moderators are crucial:
Europe's beauty lies in its linguistic diversity. We want to replicate this diversity in our country-specific communities. Our goal is to ensure that every European can participate in discussions using their native language. This approach will make Europe Pub truly inclusive and representative of our continent's rich tapestry of languages and cultures.
This is your chance to contribute to the fediverse movement and create a truly European social network. Let's break free from centralized American social media and build something that represents our diverse continent.
Whether you're passionate about European culture, politics, or simply want to connect with fellow Europeans, we'd love to have you on board. No technical expertise required โ just enthusiasm, a love for Europe, and fluency in your native European language!
If you're interested in helping shape Europe Pub, please comment below or send me a message.
Let's work together to create a vibrant, inclusive space! ๐ช๐บ
Hello,
Copy pasting what I put in another post on !BuyFromEU@lemm.ee
My personal stance on this is that
If rules, moderation policies and admin policies are similar, there should only be one community on a single topic while we have a userbase below 100k
This allows for !politics@lemmy.world and !politics@hexbear.net to coexist, as there is a reason for them to (different moderation policies). It's similar for !climate@slrpnk.net and !climatehope@lemmy.world, as those communities have different principles and perspectives on their topic.
This suggests to consolidate communities like !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@lemm.ee
Another recent example is
These three communities have similar rules, similar moderation and admin policies. They should be consolidated. And I know this is a very controversial topic, but I made a longer post recently on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for people interested.
In summary, my main argument is that
To take a recent example
https://jlai.lu/post/16318139/13038429
There is a natural tendency of "one community emerges as the main one" on several topics
If one community does not emerge as the main one, it's usually because two or more regular posters maintain both communities active by posting to their preferred community.
So, my suggestions are to consolidate similar communities. This single decision will not make this platform similar to Reddit. On Reddit, you had no way to complain about power tripping mods, there were no public modlogs, and discourse criticizing the mods or the admins would get silenced.
Here, we have !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and recent examples have shown that the community can actually resist power tripping: https://feddit.org/post/7025680/4263481.
If the mods of the consolidated community start to power trip, document this on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and reorganize on the alternative communities. If not, stay on that one community, to foster more active conversations and posts.
That's the theory we encourage on !fedigrow@lemm.ee, feel free to join us there to discuss this further.
