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.

I've seen a lot of discussion about Threads around the fediverse and I believe our main instance community has had a few large discussions about it (here's a recent one).

I didn't see an Agora discussion post, so I'm making one.

Can we all discuss our opinions on whether we want this instance to remain federated with Threads or not and share our reasons? I'd appreciate it!

Considering we already did that multiple times in the last few days all over the Fediverse I don't quite see the point of your post.

And I even left out all the other posts in the Fediverse community and the main communities of other instances.

As far as I understand it, an agora discussion is a necessary step before a vote. If you want to take any action either way, I think we have to discuss here first.

Let me know if I've misunderstood.

Let me know if I’ve misunderstood.

You did not misunderstand.

Even so, I think the Agora is a very suitable place for a discussion like this.

I don't feel the description of this community makes it well suited to archiving copies of arguments that have been going in circles for days now.
