(Note that the quoted bit I’m replying to ends after the word “…issue” and my words begin at “What a fucking…”)
In roughly 30 years online, across a wide variety of communities on a wide variety of platforms, zero of them would have removed that comment as “trolling.”
Except .ml, apparently.
That’s super nice, thank you! I was not aware of your instance until your comment, will check it out.
It’s very small and there are only a few of us that actually use local accounts. I haven’t really advertised it or anything since it seemed like there were plenty of better options.
Now that it’s a little better established and things are going wild around Lemmy… Yeah. Probably a good time to start looking for like-minded people to get a friendly community going.
Are you registered on https://lemmy-federate.com/ ?
Yeah. I jumped through all the common hoops (AFAIK) when I was first setting up the instance because I was undecided on what to do with it.
In the beginning I wasn’t sure if I wanted to deal with the hassle of users and instead just host communities and use it as a personal instance. Since then I’ve decided I’m ok with others joining as long as the numbers stay manageable, say 100-200 local users max, should it ever get to that point.
That way it should be large enough to foster local friendships and groups but not so large that we have users running unchecked through the fediverse causing problems. At least that’s the vision/goal.
