Hello everyone,

The most current active community is !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml.

Due to all the discussions that are now happening on !fediverse@lemmy.world about moving away from lemmy.ml due to their abuse moderation practices (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531), should we consider creating an alternative.

!dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world exists but seems unmanaged and I would rather avoid another LW community.

Maybe we could contact mander.xyz at !mander@mander.xyz to see what they think?

      It is indeed very solid, but my reasoning was more to highlight mander.xyz, which is science-focused.

      They do a great work, and maybe having a “popular” community might help them (although that might already be happening with their science memes community)

        Yea I requested the current community to keep an eye on it since the mod was not active. I haven’t had a chance to properly promote it yet.

        Mander.xyz is a solid instance and I think this community would do well there. It would fit in nicely with the other communities on there, and it might get more posts as a result

        Ultimately I’m happy with wherever people would like to go with that community :)

      I mean, lemm.ee is a very solid instance that also isnt overprone to defederating from everyone, if we’re going by that.
