  • Beehaw has a code of conduct that everyone can read.

    They already said that it is hard to effectively mod because the tooling isn’t there yet.

    I really wish people would hamper their expectations a bit. With more people coming, there will be more people willing to contribute for tooling etc. These projects are in it’s infancy so growing pains will happen.

    Facebook for example pays around 500mil per year for moderating and Reddit has free labor for it. But even then, Reddit is dependent on 3rd party tooling for their moderators to effectively moderate. That is a company that exists for 18 years or so?

    At one point I expect there to be tooling available to make it easier to target ban people from an specific instance or even defederate specific accounts from an instance.

    But if you are a mod team of 4 people without effective tooling then I hope that people understand the predicament they are in and also support the server in their efforts and try to understand their reasoning.

    At least you don’t have to switch to another platform, you can just make an account on the instance and participate.

    I have been toggling between instances and accounts per instance for a good week already and I encounter zero problems with it.

    If you just make an account and “activate” the keep yourself logged in checkmark than you can easily switch between instances.

    In this stage we are self governing to an extent. The behaviour of people can affect a full instance so everyone has the obligation to think before they post.

    Just don’t be a dick/troll/spammer/bigot is more then enough to keep federating for your instance enabled.
