Hello m@teys,
I've been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we've been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn't a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we'll actually vote on this.
Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.
Have a good week!

governance type: sense check
Some of my thoughts:
I value the community that we have and the style of communication that makes Lemmy different from other forum type software.
I very much dislike the political views of its creators.
I have an account on Piefed and while it's not terrible, it's still not as nice as here. I think it can get there over time.
Thanks for your input. To clarify we don't want a 100% switch, just a new instance alongside this one
