I also think that mander.xyz would be a good fit. The instance administration is chill and sensible, and the instance's scope is STEM fields.

MODERATORS
As long as we don't consolidate to .world I'm OK with it.
Agreed, we have to contain .world’s influence down to under 20% of the user share if we want the threadverse to be healthy.
They currently hold 32% of Lemmy’s monthly activity.
Spacetime does not contract, it expands
[email protected] moderators @[email protected] and @[email protected] are active.
Thoughts on consolidation, perhaps to [email protected]?
I would be good with that. The space communities could benefit from consolidation, they're active but spread out too much
I don't have a preference on which one to keep, both LW and mander.xyz seem like good choices
Agreed. Consolidation would benefit the community and likely help it grow further. I don't know much about mander.xyz, but I'm not attached to LW.
I'd be happy to continue moderating if we migrate elsewhere.
Edit: I just noticed how small mander.xyz community is, 90/month vs 4k/month.

Those numbers can change quickly, [email protected] went from a few dozens to 4k after consolidation
Great to hear!

Paging admin @[email protected] and recent posters @[email protected] and @[email protected] for their thoughts.
Would you be open to adding active moderators to the community?
I personally vote for [email protected] as that is a well-managed instance for the topics relating to science. The instance version number is 0.19.9.
I agree with you, that seems like the most suitable instance for this topic, in my opinion.
I'd be happy to moderate on mander.xyz if we consolidate over there.
Would you be willing/interested to take on a moderator role for that community? It would be useful to have at least one moderator with a local account.
I am interested in being moderator for that community.
Awesome, thank you! I have added you as a moderator.
That's great to hear!
@[email protected], please add Bee to the moderator list of [email protected] at your earliest convenience.
Great, added. Thank you!
