Gregory's Server@stux perhaps this is a problem with having so many people on your instance? I can imagine it's hard moderate/build-community if your instance is too big.

@Stephan @stux I am on a small instance, and I think it just works better. My admin is super responsive and has a sense of the sort of community they wants to cultivate. I think it's hard/impossible to have a coherent group of people when you have 10,000s there. I think it's a mistake (but it's a free world) to have such big instances on Mastodon in general. @stux @RadiantFlux with current influx we must be happy. They are the buffer. People will find there way eventually. The are the main street people use to start venturing in surrounding neighbourhoods.  @RadiantFlux @stux @Stephan Yea, I think a long term goal of the admins should be figuring out how to break up some of these larger instances. It defeats the purpose of decentralization and makes things harder to run. But I understand right now we just want the doors open for people trying to get here from Twitter @Stephan @RadiantFlux @stux the problem is when the spread conspiracy stuff and some easy to convince people believe that you know what happened after trump lost the election? |
@RadiantFlux @stux both being a general instance and being a large instances. But in general people coming in ‘trigger happy’ as conditioned by twitter. To disagree or dislike some doesn’t make them instant bannable (probably not a word). I have seen idiots on Mastodon, but that is no reason to ban. Just trying to avoid as the plague.
