       I'm tempted to try starting a furry-friendly (though welcoming to anyone who wants to come) Pleroma instance with a very light touch on suspensions, a free hand on mutes, and mildly heavy community policies against hate, shaming, pile-ons, follow-policing, advocating violence, acceptable targets, etc.

       @azure I am actually curious in seeing how that turns out. Not a moderating style that's particularly popular in most circles from what I've seen.

       @byte I partly view it as trying to combine robustness with community.For me, the value in the Fediverse is that two people who want to talk to each other can talk to each other without having to be dominated by a large corporation or third parties intervening. As an admin my job for inter-instance matters is to let my users talk to people they want to talk to (and who want to hear from them), expel users who insist on talking to people who don't want to be talked to by them, and take action (whether blocking particular users on remote instances, talking to the admins, or in the rare case suspending instances) to keep people from talking to my users when they don't want to be talked to.In that frame, I do my users harm when I suspend an instance, and so it has to be justified by preventing very likely harm. I'd only do it in the case of spam, harassment, and potentially (and with the cooperation of other instances) to exclude instances that have policies like "I will block any instance that doesn't block X."HOWEVER curating the timelines is a VERY different matter. To avoid being muted, instances have to encourage the kind of behavior I expect my users would want to be exposed to.And same thing for the local timeline. Have definite policies shaping the kind of 'local' community we want to create and encourage it.You might think of it as slightly inspired by the Robustness Principle from RFC 1122.
