Hey everyone, there are a few things I want to post about in the next couple of days/weeks. First of which is for a new community I created called Provincial Discussion Canada (https://lemmy.ca/c/ProvincialDiscussionCanada)
I want to explain the purpose of the community and then ask a couple questions.
I created this community because, as a Canadian focused lemmy instance, I think it's important to understand the importance of provincial politics in Canada. I know there are communities dedicated to specific provinces, but this one is designed for any provincial news, discussion, and friendly debate.
In this sense, I hope we can expand beyond federal politics and beyond our own province's politics. Especially with the current government discussing more open cross-provincial trade and co-operation, it feels more important than ever to stay informed. The more informed we are, the more understanding we are. The more united we are.
Questions:
-
Do you think this community could provide value to lemmy.ca? I will take the majority sentiment and shut down the community if there is an overwhelming negative response.
-
Are any Canadians willing to help moderate this subreddit to follow the rules and spirit listed in its sidebar? Those who can keep their personal beliefs separate from their moderation are necessary. Diversity of provinces would be ideal. A portion of mods being French speakers is also a must.
Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you everyone!
Sadly that would exclude PieFed.ca users, an instance we also manage :(
