Nay, I thought half the point was that “the instance you join doesn’t matter much.” I’d generally like more cohesion, not walled communities that you need 5 different accounts for.
Edit: I want to add to this. Nowhere in the community description here does it say it’s meant for sh.itjust.works community discussion/voting. I think there’s value in a community closed to sh.itjust.works that ONLY discusses sh.itjust.works relevant topics/polls. But this isn’t the community for it.
I already have 4 accounts on different instances, which is useful while Beehaw does their defederation thing. Part of this decentralized federation is that each instance gets to make it’s own rules on how it operates. Why should members of one instance get to make all the rules for another one?
If someone wants to make an account and participate in the growth of this particular instance then they’re already vested in this community.
This is exactly how I feel. Maybe I need to re-read theDude’s OP about the direction of the instance but I thought this was a place to discuss the Administration of this instance, so why would people from other instances get the same say and input? You don’t vote for other country’s elections…
If you read the community description, nowhere does it say this is a place to discuss admin of this instance. That’s my issue. If we want a place for that, I totally agree there’s value in that. But either the description needs to be completely changed or it needs to be somewhere else.
A simple line added to the top of the description that this is meant to be “the agora (of sh.itjust.works)” would fix that. The description made sense to me when I read it and implied that already but that’s probably because I came here immediately after reading the original post announcing this place and it’s purpose.

I’m still an Aye.
