Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

#1: Initial revision
The answer by trichoplax is basically right. If there is an issue with a proposed community, raise it - preferably on Proposals Meta, but private is ok if it's sensitive. As much as possible, we want the members of the (incipient) community to make decisions about the community. We (Codidact) *have* declined at least one proposal for reasons of legal liability, but this should be rare. The presence of a community someone just doesn't like does not cause harm; if those who like it can be successful, we're happy. If you think there is harm in a community existing, please explain the issue so we can work together to address it.
