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

All I mean is that I would rather you talk about the things that concern you instead of arguing indirectly by mentioning "other people" that are just abstract entities.

LIke, it's fine if you don't want to contribute to the topic-based instances because of the concerns you stated. But when you say "some other people might think this" instead of being upfront and say "I think this", you create an impossible conundrum for me to solve: as much as I can try to work with you to solve the issues that concern you, I can not find and work with "other people".

Also, even if you don't want me to argue this case with you, it would be easier/better when you are straightforward about it. I'd take the hint and just "agree to disagree" on this particular topic, and move on.

Hope that makes sense.
