A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.

Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

I was wondering if there was a community where admins of different instances got together and chat in general about decisions for how they run their instances.

Sort of like an informal U.N. for Lemmy admins.

I can see this going well. But I can also see them creating issues by consensus, such as "defederation blocklists" and "user blacklists", they also have our names, emails, and IP addresses right? Instance admins have quite real power already. Perhaps users also ought to have such democratic discussions?

I agree with you. What do you think we as users could do to make this happen?

Also on a sidenote has anyone thought of creating a publicly owned instance before? I wonder how that would work.
