MODERATORS
I’m making myself be active here. I’m learning to build my own lemmy instance on a VPS.
I want there to be a sea change in social media. I want an authentic intellectual conversation. I was in college during the usenet era and found it easy to find mind expanding stuff there with a minimum of toxicity.
My hope is the community and software mature steadily together until it is ready to handle a significant influx.
Let’s not reward toxicity. We need to steer the conversation and the software development to reward quality engagement over quantity.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about hosting your own instance. I'm by no means an expert, but it would appear that I have successfully deployed my own.
