Well, I think the size of their userbase naturally poses a higher workload for admins and mods. So they naturally will have a lower tolerance for any risqué behavior, by sheer need of expediency dealing with the issues there. So even if a smaller instance shares the rules with them, the way they’d apply the rules are likely to be quite different.
I was going to mention the FAF.
.world has its issues, mostly because of its behemoth size. Not all bans there would necessarily be a great idea to apply on instances that are an order or two of magnitude smaller. Their needs and approaches to moderation differ in enough ways that an auto-copy would probably not be advisable, unless we can reliably categorize them. If we can tell a ban comes because of CSAM, or something like that, that would make sense to immediately copy. But a behavioral / rule break sanction is much more closely tied to the specific instance rules and moderation standard.
I was able to implement community maintained blocklists.
Could you share how? That’s very interesting.
And Pixelfed, Peertube, Bookwyrm, PyLova, WAFRN, Mbin, Loops, Vernissage, … We are legion!
I consider myself quite tech savvy. Some 20 years ago I even coded for the PC, and might have run questionably sourced software a few times. Nowadays, I have a home server, do my tiny bit of tinkering. My current approach to pirated software is “nope”. I find it too much trouble to still not feel safe. If there isn’t an open source alternative, I’ll either cough up the dough for the real deal or go without.
Did they stutter? Clarifying comment, move on.
New Godwin’s law just dropped.
You could format a message with xmpp connection data, so both parties could “dial” and talk, if the client is aware of the format. A bit contrived, but workable.
