So, the main blocking problem for transitioning to the Threadiverse is that there are too many alternatives?

I know that the Rust project doesn't often make things "official", but in this case this would be a very easy way to solve a very real problem.

  1. Hold a vote, which server we use. Within all the community, with everyone who has push access on GitHub, within the Leadership Council, on URLO, whatever. It doesn't matter that much and, honestly, it's bikeshedding.
  2. Advertise it on the website and TWIR, and make the mods part of the Rust Moderation hierarchy.

Later, when we have some way to collect communities together, we can diversify again to have a bit more resiliency against one server going down.

I know the Leadership Council is probably busy, but I would really love if they would do this (though I'm not very deep in the Rust Project myself, so I can't kick this off).

I really hope they do introduce a Who's Hiring thread, since this is one more step towards independence from Reddit.

Finally! I really admire how much work people are putting into getting a nice project structure. Last time, the project governance just started changing while the formal definition of leadership wasn't adopted, so that the formal definition got meaningless: https://without.boats/blog/if-you-can-keep-it/ - I hope that this time, there will be a lightweight-enough process to adapt the formal definition of leadership. Maybe the current RFC should be made into some document on the website, and then there are new RFCs (or FCPs) that change it.
