Welcome everyone!
First of all, what is a ' Yarning Circle '? Well it's a place to have a yarn, a conversation, in a circle where everyone can speak equally. In this case we're here to discuss the state of the instance and it's future. Something I hope to host monthly going forward. Oh and thanks to slrpnk.net for letting me steal their formatting of community posts.

.ml de-fed?
๐งโ๐ป What's Up? ๐งโ๐ป
Prior to switching over to PieFed from Lemmy, Quokk.au was de-federated from the 'triad', as it stands with the move we are now re-federated with lemmy.ml. In the near future I would like to hold a vote to decide if you would like to continue to remain as such or move towards de-federating them. Please let me know your thoughts.
- I've started working on a few small customisations to PieFed. Mostly centered around the web interface, changing layout.
- New (WIP) themes such as a replication of old.reddit and a PHPBB inspired theme.

Please let me know how you're finding your experience so far with Quokk.au, and if there is anything I can to do help improve it for you.
I agree with most of your comments and have had some similar experiences in the past. I agree those types of campist views are deeply offensive to anyone who fights against authoritarianism. It's all too easy to focus on the negatives though, especially when the liberal instances seem to believe anyone and everyone to their left is a tankie or a fascist or somehow both, simply for not wanting to vote for any party that votes for genocide. Anyway it seems like I'm not gonna convince you so I'll leave it there.
