1 year agoI’d wager this is in response to the campaign going around to block every blue checkmark. Elon can’t let his crowd of sycophants feel like they’re being ignored.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve been side-eyeing instances that have open community creation due to how easy it is for bad actors to come and start shit, especially if instance admins aren’t constantly on top of things.
As other people in this thread have pointed out, if you allow Nazis to hang out in your bar for long enough, you become a Nazi bar. Given your instance’s stated rules against bigotry, I would advocate for proactive action in cases like this. Donald Trump is a champion of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia - all the things you don’t allow. I wouldn’t think you’d want a community that champions him as a dogwhistle for all of those things.
Have you considered disabling open community creation and having it be a function of your Agora discussion space?
