Decidim: a governance-first platform
I've just started looking at Decidim, so this may be a case of everything looking like the nail to its hammer, but, given all the posts about the mechanics of governing this instance already, I wondered whether considering a separate platform specifically designed to address many of these governance-related problems (as I understand it -- again, early days) might be in order.
Decidim might actually be more akin to a sledgehammer in this case, but I figured the point still has merit, as a discussion. There must be other solutions out there too. How does Debian make decisions, for example?
Reminds me a bit of Slashdot's meta moderation, back in the day. I used to pick that up maybe once or twice a week, if I had a moment. The user experience was excellent; its benefits to the community were less clear to me, but I put that down to a transparency issue.

Yeah, I'm hosting a Synapse instance; have been for a few years now. The biggest complication was the reverse proxy set-up, because I didn't want matrix in my handle. 😁 But they've got great docs around that (and more) these days; and there's a good community in the Synapse Admins room too.
What are the banner & icon recommendations / requirements when it comes to dimensions and format? Does anyone know? I've found a few posts where people ask, but no answers. And I'm getting errors on my own profile, for example.
Oh, and, so this isn't completely off-topic, :P I forgot I made this:
Which was also getting rate-limited or something, until I scaled it down and dithered it.
