Several things to remember.
- Each instance has it’s own moderation rules.
- Each community on that instance has potentially extra moderation rules.
- There is no “central” admin who “polices” this.
- People make mistakes.
- People are people.
- Don’t agree, start your own instance.
In answer to the post that was removed, finding places to discuss ideas is not something that you are alone in. I find myself on that same quest on a regular basis and find answers seriously lacking.
I love encouraging and providing supportive responses to posts that come my way, but rarely do I discover places to share and test ideas.
Having been online for a long time, I think some of it relates to difficulty in expressing ideas in text succinctly and as a result conversation often degenerates into misunderstanding and (for want of a better expression) name calling.
I don’t curate my feed or subscribe to communities, other than to filter hate speech and its distributors.
Feel free to ping me, and if I have something to contribute, I will. Public conversation only.
