Definitely take your point about removing friction. Thanks for having a look at the project!

 

I've just started looking at Decidim, so this may be a case of everything looking like the nail to its hammer, but, given all the posts about the mechanics of governing this instance already, I wondered whether considering a separate platform specifically designed to address many of these governance-related problems (as I understand it -- again, early days) might be in order.

Decidim might actually be more akin to a sledgehammer in this case, but I figured the point still has merit, as a discussion. There must be other solutions out there too. How does Debian make decisions, for example?

Reminds me a bit of Slashdot's meta moderation, back in the day. I used to pick that up maybe once or twice a week, if I had a moment. The user experience was excellent; its benefits to the community were less clear to me, but I put that down to a transparency issue.

Yeah, I'm hosting a Synapse instance; have been for a few years now. The biggest complication was the reverse proxy set-up, because I didn't want matrix in my handle. 😁 But they've got great docs around that (and more) these days; and there's a good community in the Synapse Admins room too.

Ditto. Nice one.
