Is anyone willing to actually discuss pseudo rules propping up as if they're community standards? Where is this widespread CW community standard coming from?
Why are people acting as if there isn't already instance rules? I'd understand in full if certain content was required to be tagged as per instance rules but why are all these federated messages coming through seemingly without any understanding that each instance has rules demanding everyone listen to their needs?
@Melon_Bread I wish some of the instance admins could come up with a more readily available explanation of how everything works. I'm 100% okay with safe areas and individual communities having different ideas of what's okay, but this is getting weird.
This is a great platform for everyone to be happy.
@oyasumi It also does not help this place has been labeled1 with "twitter with out Nazis"
@Melon_Bread Yeah, saying a certain group wouldn't be able to use the platform sort of goes against the idea in the first place. An extremely hateful group could go ahead and make their own instance, they just wouldn't be federated with instances that don't want literal hate speech on their feed.
The idea is for instances not to federate with instances that conflict with their rules, to an unacceptable degree. This is why awoo.space is an island, only connected to mastodon.social.
@oyasumi I think it comes down to people not understanding the platform as a whole, and what a instance actually means.
