The dragon communities

I’m active on one but not the others, and I have a semblance of a plan.

I miss standupcomedy and evilautistm but I’m not running them.

Am I doing it right?

Musician fan groups are pretty neat. There’s probably not enough people here to recreate that yet. Heck, the biggest music groups are kind of dead.

I need someone to start posting a lot of celebrity snark. Like, low quality mean snark about rich cunts. I in no way will contribute, other than the odd carefully rationed upvote, but I will consume guiltlessly.

Hurry, now.

China time, it’s all about bad knockoff watches.

c/snackexchange

I’m the only poster but don’t want to spam too much and look like a scammer.

Another /r PokemonTTRPG would be nice.

/r/starlink

I miss houseplant content

/r/Cardano: !cardano@infosec.pub

For some reason, very few people interested in cryptocurrency practice what they preach. The hypocrites prefer instead to use a closed source centralized platform to talk about an open source, decentralized currency.

/r/ArtisanVideos

It’s a ghost town without my posts.

And so many more that I moderate but refuse to close.

The only community I started that has been successful is EnoughMuskSpam

I’m looking forward to our first proper mystery like The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet or Celebrity Number Six. We’ll know the Fediverse has 5 years to live max when this becomes the place to post that kind of thing.

Support groups are something I want to see grow on Lemmy. Anything from abuse, to mental health to chronic illness or addictions. There should also be a way to protect those communities from ableist trolls, a theoretical door so that not just anyone can see the feed. I think it’s important to have that door, because there are people who no matter what you say, they will never have empathy or understanding for people going through those challenges. They will always find a way to convince themselves the person isn’t worthy of empathy or respect. They will try to do harm, and so they should just be blocked out. I’ve sadly already encountered a bit of that on Lemmy.

But I will be honest, I don’t have a plan of action laid out, I’m just throwing it out there. We saw some major platforms become null and unsafe. We should work to reestablish a safe space for folks dealing with those problems. It’s even more important now while we’re going through this breath-takingly crappy year. I myself do not have the skills or energy to moderate one of these groups. It would just be good to work toward having more of those here eventually.

Edit: It would also be cool if we could be more thorough about keeping out troll communities, prevent or discourage them from taking root here. For example fakedisordercringe on Reddit was a vile place. The redpill communities were bad too.
