Hot take: mailing lists are underrated as an organization tool and social media platform.

What is going on

The something internationale was the big split one, it changed servers for some reason, and renamed itself 12 times, until it settled on The Local Inn <:GWaobloChildPepeShrug:407618817569718272>

Is of the third split

They've been against unification

eh

Just some kids playing

as I see it

i think they've just forgot, its just a casual philosophy discussion hole now

I'm probably still banned there

for the attempt to recover users

from the split

I have nothing against having smaller, niche, affinity-group-esque servers, but that's not what you mean is it?

I personally blame Snow for giving away power to losers

it's basically a affinity group of gay sounds shitposting and philosophy

Send us invite in this chat pls

But you offered me a mod position without knowing anything about me first, didn't you? 🤔

Yep

We have some trial time inside

I guess that's not necessarily inconsistent.

We have a long trial time

<#308950154222895104> and <#308995540782284817> seem redundant at the moment

Maybe rename <#308950154222895104> to <#308995540782284817> and ~~remove~~ archive this channel.

is of English <#308995540782284817> while <#308950154222895104> is multi-language

@Firefly tbh I think productive inter-server diplomacy would be more achievable than one big server

@(import (srfi 151)) Well, how about me being banned on every leftypol offshoot while nobody is banned in here?

How do we do diplomacy in this case?

All I ask for is cooperation and mutual aid

Well, maybe that wasn't very well thought out.

Never mind, I should put my own ideas into practice instead of trying to change yours.

I support diplomatic approach. I'm in favor of your ideas

Already

Why change it?

It's not a very fleshed out idea, but I was thinking maybe we could try starting a federation of smaller servers that each have their own focus, talents, and abilities to contribute to a greater cause.

@(import (srfi 151)) why have a separate server for it?

Why not organize it on one server for everybody?

@Firefly ease of moderation, more of a sense of having an independent group in a symbiotic relationship with a greater whole

It's not a perfect analogue, but conceptually it wouldn't be very much different from the Union of Soviet Socialist Channels

I'm not sure if this is still something anyone identifies with. https://unitedchans.fandom.com/wiki/USSC

Also as an anarkiddie the affinity group + general assembly model of organization just really appeals to me.

Well, I can't really explain logically why sense of a symbolic relationship is pointless as it appeals to people with feels.
