<p>i think anna meant to share / discuss between ourselves what we
want to see happening with systerserver.town, rather than to put
that into the general guidelines. is that right, anne?</p>
<p>the article anne sent is worth reading (reminds me also of my own
experience during 2020 when suddenly thousands of other people
became overnight experts in online performance 😂) & i think
it is good to go with caution, be realistic about what we can do
with the resources we have, & who we are doing it for
(ourselves, first!). <br>
</p>
<p>we could get mired down in endless conversations, for example
what is "negative political content" indeed!!! the mmore concise
our guidelines are, the better. and keeping the instance
invitation only is good.<br>
</p>

<br>
Here the pad we worked for our systerserver.town instance during a
workshop with Lurk last spring.

<br>
The questions in the pad help formulating what, for whom and by
whom the instance is running.
<br>
<br>
I don't quite follow all thread here, due to many deadlines I have
till mid Nov and some family issues.
<br>
<br>
Nonetheless wrt:

I wouldn't go into this direction, feels too restrictive and not
really manageable from a modetator's perspective. In general
guidelines articulate what a community doesn't tolerate in this
instance, e.x sexist, nazis, trolling etc..

apart from the pad I feel it might be helpful to have a
discussion about the character of the Mastodon instance.
<br>
<br>
Not sure this is something everyone wants to discuss - let me
know whether that should be moved elsewhere.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Right now it feels like half of Twitter is moving over to
Mastodon / the Fediverse and that results in a trillion of
debates about what is different, what's similar, what is wanted
and what isn't.
<br>
<br>
There were so many debates about Content Warnings that people
start to demand CW for those debates.
<br>
<br>
(I'm currently entangled in a debate whether there should be
such warnings, or notices, for all political content, or else
for 'negative politics' and that entails it's own debate: What
is negative political content?)
<br>
<br>
I admit that I hadn't realized how different the concept of the
local timeline is, and just came across this text whic I found
helpful <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/">https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/</a>
<br>
<br>
I don't share all of the views but it's definitely a good
introduction to the current dynamics, I find.
<br>
<br>
And while we're editing our about page I think we should maybe
share what we would like to see happening on systerserver.town.
<br>
<br>
More something of a safe space with a local timeline that
resembles a community space with some reservation about the rest
of the world out there, or rather like a place for our activism,
ok to have controversial debates, mobilising and informing about
what we fight against?
<br>
<br>
Can we have both and how? I tend to lean towards the latter, I
don't believe in defining politics apart from something else,
everything is politics to me and I like controversies and
discussion. I also have the need for safe spaces some times and
room to withdraw from the world - it's not easy to draw the line
but I'm thinking it's a good conversation to have before we open
up the instance a little bit. I haven't moved my 'big account'
to systerserver.town (yet) because it'll bring a lot of people
debating stuff and my feeling is I'd like to understand better
what type of atmosphere we'd like to see there.
<br>
<br>
Thoughts? Or should we actually try and find the time for a call
about this?
<br>
<br>
Cheers,
<br>
Anne
