I don’t want a small community. I want a vast huge community endless as the stars but made of small communities— where a few feel like home.

Cities of Billions! I’m always dreaming of what a city with a billion people would be like— and not a dysfunctional city …a good one.

@PBruce @craignewmark @JMMaok @futurebird @jeffjarvis @jayrosen_nyu this is part of why I'm suggesting a model similar to Creative Commons. It would allow instances to self-select from a menu and post the appropriate moderation label/badge somewhere public-facing. People could follow the link to where the detailed moderation paper exists (universally), which saves time and creates consistency. If there are exceptions or specifics on implementation, the moderator can post that.

@futurebird @craignewmark I really like this idea. It should be something like Creative Commons, with a variety of moderation levels for each instance to adhere to. This would allow for flexibility so that some instances could choose to be very strict on some topics while remaining liberal on others (nudity, political discourse, etc). There would, of course, be a basic minimum moderation “license” that any instance that is acting in good faith (anti-racist, anti-homophobia, etc) as a baseline.

@futurebird When I first joined, in addition to finding some of the people I followed on twitter, I also made it a point to follow people who boost interesting content even if they don't post much of their own stuff (like I don't), so as to get a diverse, content-rich feed. I don't actually follow that many people (I only just passed 100), but I already feel like I have more content than I can keep up with. And of course I boost to try to pass on the best (IMO) of it.
