Gregory's Server@seachanger I would like to see full transparency of server moderation policies available for users to see. Since people have to pick a server as their gateway to the Fediverse, it's important to surface how the decisions of admins will affect their experience.

@seachanger @weyoun6 just having each server's "About" displayed on joinmastodon would be a massive (and as far as I can see, relatively easy to implement) step @almostconverge @seachanger combined with a out page automatically displaying block / allow list that would be a big improvement. @weyoun6 @seachanger there are also very good reasons not to advertise your block list publicly  @weyoun6 @seachanger do you think this could open admins and moderators up to constant brigading and second guessing of their moderation activities? I get they must be held responsible somehow but it’s already a lot of work to moderate. Doing so in full view of everyone can be a vector for abuse. I think it’s sensible to trust those in charge until you have a reason not to, then leave. |
@weyoun6 most servers do have these in their “about” section. I know becuase before we set ours up I looked closely at many of them to see how people do it. But that is time consuming and also what people say is not necessarily what they do or are able to do in practice. And they’re all different and may use terms in different ways.
So I think masto should maintain a list of servers where (1) user reviews (as with apps) and (2) a standardized safety tier level appear with the name
