   @sj_zero I was talking with @thor and @thatguyoverthere about styles of moderation/government and realised that I should probably make something clear before I make this account my main: how do you moderate? Your "rules" seem kind of vague: "I'm not your dad, and you're not mine". What does that mean? Would you be willing to make clear and consistent rules that constrain moderation as well as posting? I keep getting kicked off forums for pissing off moderators that aren't clear under what circumstances they get pissed off or who moderate unjustly etc.

     @sj_zero @thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika what i have in common with you as a mod is CP and spam. i will enforce bans on CSAM and spam.

     the theme of my instance is this:

     show some decency. common courtesy.

     in return, i will not block ANYTHING.

     the worst troll? use the blocking options on your account.

     if your opinions are bad? if you can express them and maintain human decency, okay.

     that's what i work from.

     I'm not your dad -- it isn't my job to make sure you're not a jerk. I'm not going to stick my fingers into discussions. I grew up with no holds barred internet debate, it's halal.
     
     You're not mine -- Don't break my toys. Most moderation actions I've ever taken are based on systemic risks such as spam or CP, because I don't want my toys broken.
     
     Honestly, I had some reports about one of my users being mean to someone I like, and that's when I had to decide what to do about it. The only answer I could come up with was to say "If they're bothering you, block them". It's dangerous for me to start intervening in arguments like someone's dad.

     My country can't even agree on what "decency" or a "man" or a "woman" is

     One of the benefits of the distributed nature of the fediverse is that different instances have different standards and so nobody needs the one universal standard to fit them perfectly. Some instances are locked down and while I don't agree with it, that's their freedom to do so and it's mine to moderate as lightly as I do. We can coexist in the same fediverse, even if that fediverse looks a lot different.

     @sj_zero @thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika one might call it the "if you don't like it, switch the channel" approach. but seeing as i operate a HAM repeater, i have some responsibility.

     That's all thats come up so far. I'm not inclined to moderate at all if I can help it. Not a productive use of my time.

     @sj_zero @thatguyoverthere @thor So, to be clear, this means you only moderate for spam and CP?

     Keep in mind you, as the user, have tools to moderate your own feed. You can block and mute literally anything you want. No need for an admin to do it for you.

     I'm promising I won't moderate you for anything else willingly. If you fedpost so hard the RCMP gives me a call we'll cross that bridge when we cross it.

     @sj_zero @thatguyoverthere @thor That's not very clear if you ask me. Are you promising not to moderate for anything else or aren't you?
