I got sucker punched by a few. Here is what happened.
I get a message from someone on a different instance saying they are setting up a community with similar interests to one I currently moderate. They ask if I can help get their community going by posting some of the things I currently post, which trying to be helpful I do.
Within a week or two, they are using those posts as an excuse for defederation because we are invading their instance.
I have learnt my lesson. Will not be so helpful in the future.
I cannot even remember who the people were now.
One of the communities was discussing gender stuff. I can’t remember the others, but I am sure you saw them mentioned if you followed the defederation debates on some of the other instances.
WHAT ??? Those sneaky fucking bastards dudes. Was it shit just works?
I got banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone for trying to start an honest discussion about trans people. Looks like they ban anyone who doesn’t treat them as gods

Yup. It’s just going to be a bunch of fragmented communities honestly. I don’t see the fediverse working as a Reddit alternative
I got banned from lemm.ee and accused of being a fascist within a couple of days after only making about a half a dozen posts some of which evidently betrayed the fact that I am not a Marxist.
GAYS AND TRANNYS AND FURRIES EVERYWHERE Even on the solarpunk instance, threexchromosomes shows up prominently on local. How is that solarpunk related?
Dude, all this Shits going to get fragmented. I’m still looking for replacements if reddit does that crypto bullshit. The fediverse is perfect for totalitarian moderators it’s not good to users

That’s so messed up
I’ve made posts about mine, tldr:
Spoke my mind about topics I disagree on, showed my proof, my own personal stories, and had an open mind for debate. NOPE! was. Called a monster and that I didnt care about human lives!.. We were talking about abortion.
Dam. Yea abortion is a tough one for me. Honestly don’t know how I feel about it. I definitely don’t agree with how the left wants it on demand at the point of birth. Though

When you set up your own community, you become the moderator and define the rules in the community. You can add other moderators as you see fit.
At an instance level, I just monitor the reports that come in and make sure sure there is no child porn, etc.
Be smart about the subject lines that appear in the local feed as they effect the whole instance.
I would welcome you to set up and if any problems crop up we will deal with them then.
But you seen how we operate here. We try to censor as little as possible.

A good Linux community would be great.
If stuff is off topic, then say so and remove it. I do not think that is unreasonable.
I think you will find we have a pretty good crew here with an occasional troll to be dealt with.
We are still at the early stages of looking at Nostr, I would not hold back on account of that.
