People interact with the site that dont have accounts on the site
Making it local only would lock them out of news and discussion about something they interact with
A meta community is supposed to be only for discussions about the instance itself. What would people from other instances need to discuss here?
because it affects the communities too, lots of outside accounts use the communities here
if there’s downtime for the instance or database issues or something, then subscribers to c/programmer_humor or c/programming might want to know because it affects them too
I personally always enjoy Meta update posts on other instances to see what they’re up to, how they handled a particular problem, or offer help if they need it, and welcome the same on the meta posts on my own community from non-members.
But that’s just me.
Same. As an instance admin, I like to read other admins’ experiences with new version updates and being aware of possible attacks/issues in the fediverse.
