Fedora is full of smart people with smart ideas

For example, did you know somebody registered fedora.community back in
2015? They deserve a medal.

Your idea is equally smart:

- an uncurated planet

- a curated newsletter (or alternative planet)

Each person can then choose which one they subscribe to. Before the
web, most organizations, from football clubs to student unions only had
the latter, a curated newsletter.

The funny thing is, this split already started to happen with
uncensored.some-other.community vs planet.some-other.org

I'm glad we are in agreement. If nobody else volunteers, I'd volunteer
to work on the curated.fedora.community site.

Regards,

Daniel
