I forget who it was but someone here pushed back on me when I said there were a bunch of Nazi instances on mastodon, but it’s true. They were one of the earliest adopters and they’re still a big nuisance over there. If yarn ever becomes super popular watch out!

@prologic@twtxt.net hey guys, I’m randomly joining the convo before breakfast.

The first thing I thought of was an invite system like lobste.rs… You cannot join randomly, but someone trusting you must invite you first.

I guess we discussed a few months ago the importance of moderation systems (people and tech), and having a ‘clear’ line of allowed content under the idea of “in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.”

So it’s not easy, it requires a lot of resources and intent. What do you say?

@prologic@twtxt.net as usual I’d start with definitions. What you understand by censorship due to your environment is different than my definition.

So I usually have a glossary in the organization. The basics, what, how and why are we going to moderate…
