We currently have quite a few:
- !space@lemmy.world (most active, has had federation delays in the past)
- !space@mander.xyz (active poster, topic-appropriate instance)
- !space@lemmy.ml (active poster, inactive moderator)
- !space@lemm.ee (low activity, unmoderated)
- !space@sopuli.xyz (no active posters or moderators)
Dead instances
Do each of these communities serve a distinct purpose? If not, should we consolidate some of them?
I think the ManderXYZ instance is a nice match for the topic, but I am interested to hear what others think.
I agree, at our current moderation capacity it would lead to inconsistent moderation and arguments about where the ‘quality threshold’ is
Encouraging people to post better quality sources through comments might be better than fully restricting the posts?
