Mastodon Migration

@rysiek What we need is cooperation and a rich arsenal of response to attacks. Certainly mastodon.social as the Gothem here has a key role to play, but just saying the problems are because it is a big city, and the solution is to have no big cities, is too simplistic and ignores that you need effective measures for enforcement of community standards throughout the social fabric.

Mastodon Migration

@rysiek The thing about Mastodon that gives us a fighting chance at this is that we generally are civic minded and care about our communities big and small. When an invader shows up bend on wrecking havoc, we pull together and deal with them. It is fine to then assess what happened, what went wrong, and how to do better in the future. But casting aspersions and attributing bad faith motives to one another is not the right path. Dividing the community is how the attacker wins.

@rysiek Bubbling out to a more macro view, we can take great pride in the fact that we are by and large a strong community that cares about respect for each other, and that we have the culture, structure and tools that give us a fighting chance of maintaining these social norms. This is what is really unique about Mastodon and the Fediverse, and it has its roots in our genesis. Bottom line, it's a nice place and we intend to keep it that way. We got this!
