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 think every new network joining the fediverse that would grow the network significantly should be carefully considered.
The size of the userbase being merged in seems more important than the commercial status of the service that's federating.
Not to me, I care about my content being used to drive ads. I can always leave bigger communities for smaller ones (I did that plenty on Reddit), but I can't stop my content from being used to market products to people.
I honestly don't mind there being a for-profit instance based on monthly fees or whatever, I just do not want an ad-supported service serving my content. If they want it, they can scrape it.
Agreed, even if it's only to assess the additional cost of servicing the increase in web requests. Some instances might not have the finances to handle a sudden surge of content requests.
