As stated in our sidebar:
Although our initial goal was to provide a new platform for r/PoliticalCompassMemes, we welcome the expansion to various new topics and themes.
which is why we are finally opening this thread.
If you have any suggestions for a community that you would like to run on our instance this is the place to post them. While our Rule 0 (no illegal content) remains our golden policy, there are a couple more guidelines for you to follow.
Community creation guidelines
- Take out your own trash: if you propose the creation of a community you must either moderate it yourself or appoint a willing moderator when you submit your request.
- Don’t burn our bridges: while we value free speech, we also want to maintain a friendly and constructive atmosphere. Please refrain from posting any content that is deliberately hateful, as this could jeopardize our federation with other instances.
I just noticed the creation of luddite@lemmy.ml. If you don’t want to host then that one could maybe help fill the gap. But I still think a deliberate spinoff of pcm would be worthwhile. PCM has a uniquely valuable culture of not taking ourselves seriously and of enaging with dissent. Besides, what’s a monke without a meme to illustrate the point?
Nah actually 2/4 of us are very excited about this. I’m just waiting for at least one of the other two to give his vote because I want to make this the right way. But personally I’d love to have such a community.
edit: to make it clear, the other two haven’t logged in the Discord yet
