I feel really bad about this decision, but we've decided to make Mindly.Social an English only server.
Due to the issues with moderating other languages and people unable to filter the languages they understand, we will only be allowing English on our server for the foreseeable future.
If this new change impacts you, please work to move your account to another server at this time.
We apologize to those impacted, but it's not viable for us to continue down the current path we are on.
I truly feel awful for this decision, but it's not fair to everybody else if we ignore reports and hope for the best.
Between the massive influx of users this past 2 weeks that has generated way more reports than since the server opened, and the huge increase in politically focused discussions, I'm just not equipped to moderate a global server.
In the past 12 hours the Local timeline was just overwhelmed with languages I don't read, and I realized this is going to end badly if unmoderated. 😞
@ddc0660 Currently I have 3 people helping me that I've known for a while outside of Mastodon and I really hope they're doing it casually because they're all volunteers and I'd hate for them to be spending as much time as I am handling reports. 🤣
We've had a handful of people offer to help moderate but I purposefully haven't grown the team because I don't want their time spent here to feel like work and I need to be able to trust them, so I need to know them for a while.
