The Agora
In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.
Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.
Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

Personally, I feel this depends on the nature of the instance in question. Though new to this, I only intend to view content I subscribe to, so I'm not bothered by communities that are focused on commerce as long as it stays inside those silos.
Additionally, this depends on the type of content being offered. I am actively excited to see a community where people advertise their hand-made, artisan, or small-business-made goods. I see the utility in a community where people share opportunities to save money on items they were already looking to purchase. I have no interest in another space for drivel I do not want or need from e-tailers like Amazon to be peddled.
addendum: Upon further review of the terminology in play, I'm not sure if an entire instance is the preferred route. A series of well-defined communities are perhaps a better choice?
