@timkmak Tim, your work in difficult conditions is superb!
This may not fit traditional format, but I'd love to see some analytical data re: Ukrainians' opinions - you work super hard to collect info that doesn't make it into the story.
@notyoursweetbab Thanks, I think I eventually found the "about this server" link in the fine print.

Honestly, I have no idea how moderation here will be better or simpler than on Twitter:
1. The "rules" (of this server) are high level principles subject to broad interpretation. E.g., what qualifies as "sexism" or "racism" in our complex society?
2. Most people won't even be able to understand what a "server" is.
3. Who are the server admins accountable to?
So, how do I find out who the moderators of a particular server are, and what their policies are? What does "active moderation" mean?
Right now this feels like early newsgroups where folks are generally on good behavior. What happens when the there are disagreements of judgement for appropriate content?
@Gargron @Claire Thanks for accommodating us newcomers!
Maybe I'm missing the bigger picture, but the need to select a specific community when signing up introduced friction to my onboarding... I get that the whole concept is federated accounts, but even understanding the principle I almost gave up after browsing through a few dozen options.
