I'm interested, but what would this self-governing entail? How would you stop abuse of the system?
Lemmy
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
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. :)

I'm definitely extremely interested, if you make a community, please send me a PM with the link!
Does discord and or element work for brainstorming ideas? I'm thinking that would be better until the instance is actually up.
Please don't use discord, we need to move away from centralized services that create monopolies on communities.
Of course. For some people it's just easier so that's why i mentioned it. Does element work?
Yeah, i'm on @communist:community.rs
You could just jump on an IRC webchat and spin up a channel.
Damn, I see you everywhere lol
