Good luck!

You will probably need to sticky a post in each thread automatically as very few people read the sidebar. You also need to be prepared for deliberate trolls.

I had wondered about the utility of a bot that automatically acts on reports from a list of manually selected good users, which moderators review the actions of as reports whenever they're around. It's a fair bit of effort to set something like that up as a system and maintain it, but if mods aren't around dunk-cycles can tank productive discussions in a few minutes.

Reports also don't federate properly btw, less an issue for you but anyone you invite who isn't using a .world account won't ?always? see them.

That level of reading comprehension absolutely tracks with some of the shit I've seen written about us lately.

I don't run vtc, and I think Hamid is probably more likely to eat his own teeth than refederate.

DBzero is federated, and a widely federated instance. The admin has a sense of humour at least so you could do worse than signing up there if you want to see world stuff.

dbzero is federates with both. They're honestly not bad. I think there's a bit of a moral panic around them because usaians aren't used to seeing anti-usa opinions be mainstream.

The one thread I saw on hexbear about Russia for example was people lamenting how horrible it is for lgbt people there. Expressing frustration and anger at Putin's regime, and expressing frustration at the role usa policy has played in his rise and the reactionary political culture there.

you might disagree with the degree to which the usa government is responsible but that hardly seems like a community where dissent against Putin is crushed.

Idk, at any rate the vegan communities are awesome. Mander is a good instance with good users, although I think it's natural science focused and unsure if it's appropriate for a vegan community. Dunno about the other.

I'm a boomer with insane takes like "having an account per forum is normal" and "handing over your entire digital identity to an untrusted third party is ridiculous" but I know we're dying out.

lmfao this is hilarious
