This would be the opposite of like a hyper-focused community and instead provide a more inclusive space that is scientific, leftist, and technologically forward thinking. There are a lot of leftist communities, a lot of scientific communities; but leftist scientific communities are actually quite rare.

Then there is the huge number of techno-savior cults among communities of scientists and especially computer scientists. My idea was like a middle ground for those concepts but without the techno-saviour cult aspect, and a more realistic view of technology both its positive and negative aspects.

Maybe consider it for now more like an old forum with a bunch of different communities tied together, instead of the micro-community model.

But again, its like a pokemon, this is an evolving thing. It only works if the community forums, so almost no point in trying to decide all the details unless there are people who are interested in forming a community.

Once we have a larger community then its easier to start deciding how decisions are made and then making those decisions; like changing names, and narrowing or at least segregating topics of interest.

It may not work, but the only way to find out is trying.

The XMPP MUC is still being used and I will continue using it regardless if this works.
