Even in my relatively liberal U.S. city, Next Door is overrun by Magats who are cheered on and protected by right-wing Magat moderators. It needs to die and this looks like a great replacement.

I’ve built in the ability to hide categories for this kind of reason. I was thinking, for instance, that people who enjoy a good moan can join the “Moaners Club” category, and the rest of us can hide that category from our feeds to get on with the categories we enjoy. Regarding problematic moderators, I have built a moderation log to keep them accountable, and of course, if they don’t show themselves to have good intentions, those with good intentions could create their own instance – I don’t know why I’m going into this kind of detail – you’re on Lemmy after all, you know the score!
