@[email protected] well, you'll be the first to know if i end up moving. i do remember seeing some of your posts in my feed recently but maybe it only works the other way round. or i'm just remembering wrong. i'll check when bofa comes back online

@Gargron sort of feels like it's not doing the job it was built for. i'll continue to hold out hope that these are the teething problems on which a better consensus can be built in future. as i think may have been mentioned already, this ain't it.

@Gargron when i signed up for my .social account i got the impression that the mods were trying to be intentional in creating an environment that protected people who had historically been disadvantaged by the sort of traditional moderation policies that were vulnerable to inequitable application, in favour of more powerful groups. i thought it was trying to set the standard for a new way of doing things that was more empowering for marginalised people. i hope i didn't misunderstand.

@Gargron true. but it's impossible to ignore that .social is basically the hub world around here, and that any instance it doesn't federate with is cut off from a large proportion of new users looking for a home, and established users too. other smaller instances will also take their cues from .social's behaviour, like it or not.
