↳ In-reply-to » @abucci @movq I for ones was just silently confused, I'm not in the IRC, so whatever it was - therefore I didn't see it. I also think it's important to add, that no group, event or action, should be considered "protected from humor".

@thecanine@twtxt.net Hopefully we’ve changed subject here a little 😅

What I have a problem with, is circulating blocklists, including many instances, because of some political ideology or offensive/dark sense of humor - or worst case scenario, the actions of only few of its members.

I too don’t want to go down a path of what I call “over moderation”? When we had our first instance of extreme conspiracy content (that started on my pod), we felt the need to do something about this. Not because of the content per se, but because the person found a way to “prop” themselves and their views up above others (potentially) and that is one of Yarn.social’s goals. To make abusing the ecosystem quite hard. So we built “shadow banning” for this very reason.

It is my great hope that as Yarn.social continues to grow (albeit slowly) that certain design decisions like (not using an external scalable SQL database, ephemeral visibility of Twts and Yarns, powerful tools for users and operators), will keep pods small.
