We have been under troll attack for a while now. For this reason, I am giving up on the open registration policy for a while.

I will also add a rule for extremist users. Even though I care about freedom, I don’t like moderation duties very much :) These users must find a new instance that matches their identity.

We’re also looking for an admin who can volunteer to moderate. They should be someone who has spent a few months in our instance, has a clean moderation history, and is active. In short, they must be someone we can trust. @QuazarOmega@lemy.lol and I are busy these days :)

      IDK. On Reddit, there are people trying to farm karma, which is some internet points that has no real value.

      If we put real money in it, it would be devastating. It should be really balanced to be effective. It’s really dangerous tool I think.

      Also I’m spending about $40 monthly from my pocket for this instance, so I don’t care money earnings at all :)

          So many questions come to my mind. I guess we won’t know whether it will work or not unless such an example is implemented :) Maybe I’m so used to free social media, the opposite seems illogical 🤔
