If this place going to be a larger Town hall (and eventually supercede the one on the user-hostile reddit servers) we need traditions that foster discussion in here.

Look, I also hate reddit, and it would be better if the Monero subreddit there was stale and inconsequential (see: https://monero.town/post/3725287 ), but the truth is its reverse: the Town is a near-ghost Town; which is a shame! Lemmy has a lot of potential for replacing reddit for long form written, indexed, searchable and structured (all as opposed to irc/matrix discussions) discussion medium. But we need to get people have sticking, lasting reasons to post here.

In order to make posters in here get into the habit, here are my suggestions:

Adopt "skepticism sundays," threads from /r/Monero. The Town should be the place to air out skeptic discussions on monero, we shouldn't need to br put up with reddit's automated filtering of posts and millionth captchas, just to post there.
Adopt "weekly discussion" threads from /r/Monero. Again, the /c/monero should foster posters to post more frequently in here, with threads like this.

We hate reddit. Reddit is simply unusable. New monero community members are unable to get their opinions heard and take part in the convo. It is up to us to have a haalthier discourse environment in the community.

The monero community made the right decisions to stick to Matrix and irc channels for main forms of comms instead of Discord. The last thing is switching over from reddit

This is the context of my message. Irc/matrix are different comms medium than reddit/lemmy. So, I do 't see the relevance of your message.

EDIT: Now I understand the context of your message--my bad! Agreed, Monero comminity should free its discourse from the shackles of reddit.

Haha. It’s ok it happens. As an aside, maybe we can continue the skepticism sunday tradition informally if the mods won’t make it official. I volunteer to post a skepticism sunday post this sunday to start things off
