Recent instance debates made me wonder what is a set of good moderation rules that moderate but do not silence or censor anyone?
Is there a “moderation bible” somewhere? What is the overarching goal of moderation?
For example, discrimination according to protected characteristics (age, gender, religion etc.) is clearly bad, but what if someone is just saying something that you disagree with?
What if someone is lying, either on purpose or just because they don’t know what they’re talking about?
Translated from a Vietnam account registration "reason" for choosing our nonprofit pubnix Mastodon instance: 'The experience of the game of fainting when betting on football will surely make players happy about it." #MastodonModeration#humor#humour
Hey Fediverse.
Me and the #FediverseFoundation are hosting quite a few instances by now.
Currently I'm moderating with the other admins, but their time is much better spent on maintaining the servers, so I'm looking for people who would help moderating the instances.
How much time does it take?
Depends totally on you. Basically what I need are a few people who would help me with hard decisions, which come along every so often. Everything else is a bonus. (blocking obvious spam and such).
If you're interested let me know.
If you're not interested, thanks for :boost: ing 🙂
