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.

Aye/Nay:

I think that non-sh.itjust.works users should have a say in what goes on here due to the fact that the whole fediverse is an interconnected web of users and servers (the whole decentralized thing).

That being said, I can totally see a scenario where other instances vote to change the rules of this instance because they don't agree with certain content and/or a rule that we have.

Though, to be frank, as long as the open signup remains, people could just make an account (or several) on here to get around the voting restrictions.

~~Aye~~ ok now I want to take back my aye. I'm not so sure any more :/

Aye.

I feel there should be a minimum level of investment, I think the bar should be higher than just being a part of the instance, but this is a good start.

I changed my vote because I have been using the federated functionality and it's awesome.
