Is there a need for a television community that is not on lemmy.world? (sopuli.xyz)

Hello everyone,

Some context: it is usually agreed here than centralization of communities on Lemmy.world is detrimental to Lemmy as a federated platform (see this post https://sopuli.xyz/post/11972110 for detailed explanations), which is why a few communities have been started to get general topics off LW:

One topic that is still quite popular today is television, and there are basically two options

[email protected] which some people prefer to avoid, which makes sense. Also, it's currently unmoderated except by the Automod bot, the last human bot left a few days ago.
[email protected] which is known to be managed by a single mod prompt to power tripping mod (see https://lemm.ee/post/30754133)

I am thus opening this thread to see if people would be interesting in opening a television community elsewhere. I'm going to ping the last posters on that topic in the comments.

Edit: the objective here is to find potential moderators for that new community.

See you around

Burying the intent to find moderators in the comments, not vetting those moderators, and pinging known aggressive users into the thread are each gigantic red flags by themselves. But, it may succeed on luck and user effort, despite the quality of work.

Updated in the post

not vetting those moderators

Wouldn't that happen after potential moderators show up? If you are referring to @[email protected], they have been known for being around for a while, so that's as much vetting as can be done

pinging known aggressive users

~~Who are you referring to? The main criteria was looking at who posted recently about television, and get their feedback.~~

Edit: Removed their ping from the comment.

Edit: had to go through your comment history to find out. Removed their ping from the comment.

Now I've got to remove the comments so I'm not a target. Thanks for the "help".

Perhaps, because of your numerous, large magnitude, elementary, and now combinational errors, you should halt your efforts, seek the help of a small group, and only then go public.

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection. - MLK Jr.

so I’m not a target. Thanks for the “help”.

Removed that too.
