In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

I've seen a lot of discussion about Threads around the fediverse and I believe our main instance community has had a few large discussions about it (here's a recent one).

I didn't see an Agora discussion post, so I'm making one.

Can we all discuss our opinions on whether we want this instance to remain federated with Threads or not and share our reasons? I'd appreciate it!

Preemptive defederation with a scheduled poll for refederation one we find out more about what they are actually doing in the fedverse.

I really like this idea of a reverse 'wait and see' attitude on Threads

My main concern with Threads is basically them farming our content at the expense of our community vibe (instagrams social norms are basically the same as facebooks, comments are cancer).

We could watch what happens in instances that are federated with them this way without subjecting ourselves to their experiment

Agreed. Despite their production of REACT, Facebook's past use of bots and the whole trump fiasco has already made me a little skeptical of them to say the least
