So in the wake of this and making sure at least the good side of Fedi holds on to the old culture, I'll be discussing with loli frog to maybe beef up some rules to gatekeep as many bad actors out of possible.
I believe the old Fedi culture needs to remain alive to avoid a repeat of what happened to the web when the normies started coming online.
Of course each instance needs to decide for themselves as to whether they want to allow the influx of Shitter normies to turn their Fedi instance into yet another Big Tech-like police state or hold on to the classic Fedi culture (classic web culture) by properly gatekeeping their instances.
I would wish we didn't have to do it, but it increasingly starts to seem like we just have no other choice.
And don't worry, none of the rules I have in mind should affect anyone who's already on this instance.
We'll still allow anarcho-free speech to be heard, we'll continue to have a hands-off approach towards user generated content, we'll continue to make it each user's own responsibility to block and/or mute people they don't like instead of reporting, of course we'll still allow the loli's and shota's to play around freely, and so on.
The gatekeeping is solely meant to preserve the culture we have right now.
