In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

I saw that a post was made in !main@sh.itjust.works about defederation about a month ago, an admin commented to make a post here to discuss defederation, but the post was never made.

https://maga.place/ is very obviously a small community with no real substance to it, but I saw an antivax post to !science_memes@mander.xyz and was surprised it still exists.

Anyways I don't really have a lot to say but uh, I recently hit a full year on this great instance 😊 (old account @TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works)

Well, its admin is Russian and joined Lemmy around when the Russia was cranking up its troll efforts in 2023. Or, here he at least claims that he is Russian: https://lemmy.world/post/76070 .

Also, the letter "Z" is used in the Russia in the same meaning as the swastika was used in Nazi Germany. No Russian would call himself "ArtemZ" in year 2023 without meaning that he is proud of Putin. And if you are a big fan of MAGA-ism, why do you choose a nickname that promotes Putin instead of one that promotes Trump?

You can also just read what he has been writing with his previous accounts. And how he first was talking good about the Russia and then bad. Depending on what he figured would work best for MAGAts.
