i think if kolektiva was serious about being a “launchpad”, they’d have a 60-day limit for account lifespans before they had to migrate or something, otherwise they need to semi-close registrations and have applications, or to vastly expand their mod team (as in, dozens of daily active mods or a rotation system or something), or to be more explicit about the risks on their platform, etc etc. they are trying to do have too many things at once, and it’s not working well.
it’s not true that they don’t block instances, but they tend to be slow and sparing about it — i don’t personally mind that, as i tend to like to decide for myself, but it leads to it being a more free-for-all instance. folks should be much more explicitly informed about what they’re signing up for.

@evdas their attitude is toxic and setting up the perfect environment for rampant abuse of their userbase by treating moderation inactions as moderation actions. Their ego is inflated by their awareness of their scale. Their moderation actions have been directly effected by their self-importance and elevation of their content as being too important to not be federated everywhere with consequences for their users. None of this is excusable?
Their attitude has not changed since they refused to suspend disqordia. Unless you can find me some evidence to the contrary. In all but rhetoric this is identical to how muh free speech servers operate. I am concerned they will allow this open wound to fester and an infection to take hold, allowing a breeding ground for a leftist-styled "alt fedi" (antiblack users) to center efforts around. The only reason disqoridia didn't do that already was because they shut down from being too isolated from other servers who actually give a shit.

@evdas Just wanna say that everything I said here was a prophetic prediction of what was to come. They ignored every warning, and became host to actively antiblack bullshit.
