@sun @georgia i did not check spw's public feed but one person can also destroy the whole vibe. when someone checks out the instance and sees one person posting something uncomfy, it will turn people off.

@kaia @georgia it's a problem and to a large extent my hands are tied unless I started banning people who never broke a rule and have been here since 2016.

@kaia @georgia I am considering technical means to make it easier to segregate the content from drive-by consumption so people can still say what they want

@sun @kaia @georgia sadly people don't care if people been around for years. All they care about if you have the right opinion or we block you.

@sun @georgia @kaia I think our side of fedi and the fedi who doesn't like us are dumb about it. Atleast I don't see anything illegal on spw. But I have seen worse

@kaia @georgia @sun changing what's acceptable to appeal to noobs is how places die, again and again

@moth_ball @kaia @georgia to reiterate we're not changing any rules but I'm executing some bias on recruitment. you can tell me if you think that's a problem

@sun @georgia @kaia I get what you're after, just made an offhand comment. There's no problem with trying to get new people to join but it might be difficult to find people who want to be in this narrow area between two sides of annoying. To me fedi always felt like a place that people seek out and not the other way around.

It's a complicated environment and few are willing to listen to you after they see something they don't like from some other server. Maybe you should have the server rules on whatever landing page you're directing people to.

@georgia @kaia @sun You'll find people are politically aggressive in general online, regardless of direction. It's telling that I see more funny screencaps from Tumblr than 4chan at the moment though

@sun @kaia as a normal guy in spw this would be great, maybe we would stop being defederated as much as we are now

@sun I'm not exactly new, but I'll probably start hanging out here more since Stereophonic is down so often lately.
