Why do we try to maintain our Local Timeline as on-topic?
There are so many reasons. But one big one is that our Local Timeline is what other folks see when they are checking out if they'd like to join our community or not.
We are a topic-based instance, so when our Local Timeline is all over the place and there's no Data Viz or Art or any Creative process...What are potential community member supposed to make of this?
@kristinHenry As an alternative proposal or thought, what if we set day(s) for non-datavis or daily/weekly non-datavis threads? A bit akin to conference pauses or Reddit's "What's up dear community?".
Allowed within structured conditions instead of generally not in favour.
@kristinHenry I think it means that we are a community who works in data-visualization related fields or who has an interest in data visualization (or artistic productions in various visual mediums). But we also have other interests. I've often wondered if maybe this shouldn't be my instance due to the fact that I don't post on #dataviz exclusively...
