Approach to Collaborative Moderation

The moderation team act individually and review collectively. It is better to make a quick, reversible mistake than to let bad content sit on the server for want of concordance. Any team member may question the decision of another. When this happens we make a decision as a group, putting things to a vote if necessary. This can mean undoing actions that were taken, or taking actions were none were taken.

A variety of opinion is a strength of value when creating long-lasting communities.

When something feels wrong, it is best to let your perspective be known. "I think x because y". Your perspective is valuable.

User Moderation - Community Members

User moderation is based on observation of the server rules as interpreted by the moderation team. The rules are deliberately concise. The moderation believe that an exhaustive list of what is allowed and not allowed has not been shown to be necessary where members of the community are acting in good faith.

What

Mobilizon - https://mobilizon.org/ - https://joinmobilizon.org/en/ Docs: https://docs.joinmobilizon.org/ This is a self-hosted, fediverse-compatible application that lets members create groups, and post events, an d discuss all of these.

It’s a good looking alternative to both Facebook and Meetup, which is untracked and would be community funded.

DRAFT Instance Proposal Template

Premise: this document is intended as a template for proposing new instances - where an instance is generally assumed to be software running on a subdomain of daoine.net Exampes of the kind of software under cosnideration can be found in Delightful Fediverse Apps or Awesome Self Hosted

Nothing here is final, and this document is shared to encourage discussion and provide opportunity for feedback.

The general principle is that more people can do more things under the umbrella of Mastodaoine CLG, provided they are in line with community goals and values. While that's subjective, it can be taken to include:

• privacy extended to the user
• a safe environment which is moderated
• supporting community values, especially in line with how mastodon.ie is operated
