@dragoncrown @cmbarba @dcbradshaw @tabiwritesstuff Yeah, and because instances are generally smaller than an entire social network (so far), the codes of conduct are easier to enforce within the confines of the instance. It feels like it's kind of somewhere between Reddit and Discord, where things are still generally open and available, but the option is there to cordon off the individuals who are just trying to ruin other people's days. |
@cmbarba @dcbradshaw @tabiwritesstuff Quite true.
And that requires active and responsive moderators. An interesting thing this little experiment has confirmed is that server rules do a LOT of heavy lifting.
Simply advertising what the code of conduct can preempt moderation from being needed in the first place due to an implied social contract.
