Should we defederate from maga.place?
A bit over a month ago, a user posted in !main@sh.itjust.works to propose defederating from maga.place. That post was followed by a discussion in !agora@sh.itjust.works a week ago, which seems to have gained some traction. In response, we're going to hold a vote on the matter. Voting will be open for one week, through Friday, November 7.
The Agora discussion post is here:

Only sh.itjust.works accounts created prior to today (October 31) may cast a vote.
Vote by commenting either yes/aye/oui or nay/no/non.
Any further discussion should happen in the Agora post linked above.

Animation community is moving to piefed.social
Well, https://piefed.social/ won the vote in dominating fashion. I'm not mad about it. I will admit my personal preference was lemmy.zip with piefed a close second.
I know the new community will take a while to grow to the level of this one. I want to take this moment to thank everyone who has participated here and also thank the admins of https://lemm.ee/ for the work they've put in over the past few years in this instance.
I will make a post once the transition is complete.
BuyFromEU or buyEuropean
Update 2025-03-05: Vote is in favor of keeping this community. This post is unpinned and locked.
TLDR: upvote if you want BuyFromEU to stick around.
Hi folks, new mod here.
There are two quite similar communities on different instances. Some users - coming from the different place - are in favor for abandoning this one, fearing a split and unecessary separation of users for an important movement. I'm not so sure if the other one is a substitute. Also - to be honest - I dislike the agressive, relentless style some users use in a -if you will- foreign community.

I'll finally check back in about 48hours and take a look
Asked about climate change last week, Trump gave a rambling answer about getting “environmental awards” for “the water, the sand, the mixing of the sand and the water.” We’re not really sure what that means, but the Trump administration rolled back environmental protections at every turn.

I can only hope for this level of engagement in all discussions going forward 😅
I apologize for the lack of clarity and structure surrounding the process and just know that we are working to streamline the process ASAP.
EDIT: If you post anything in addition to aye/yes/nay/no, it will be removed and I will reply to the comment with your vote.
I am not voting, I am simply cleaning up comments that try to continue the discussion. Just vote and get off the pot people.
