If my other admin wants to add anything to this, please do so in the comments below. Basically, we are a free-speech instance, but all crazy and controversial comments and posts will be limited to the dank, microwave taco and dank memes going forward with special considerations given to the Donald’s community. We want a functional website and I think in all other communities aside from the ones I’ve listed above, we should have civil discussion and good faith conversation. If people go into communities that are not designated for crazy and controversial posts and start drama, then you will be banned from that community, but not banned from the instance.

    Is this something you are working towards to get refederate? I dont’ see a point of this if this doesn’t lead to refederation also why does donald get special consideration.

      Refederation should not be a goal. It cannot be done without unacceptable compromise. We would be better served to find other instances that are pro-free speech and federate with them. If they really believe in free speech they’ll be getting kicked off the big instances too.

        Refederation is never going to happen

        The only thing that will happen is that you are going to keep attracting more and more of the same or worse people.

        There are plenty of instances with normal content that provide users with everything they are looking for without having to deal with posts you can find on dankmemes and freeform.

        You are filling such a small niche that there aren’t even going to be other instances you can link up to with the same “values” they will just gravitate to this one.

          If this place is so irrelevant and obscure why do you dedicate so much of your life to it?

            Yes I can imagine it took you half a day to come up with this response and then type it all out but that’s not true for everyone, smoothie

              You can maybe imagine that, but I limit my entire social media to half an hour every few days. Pop in, respond to comments, then post in a few threads and off again.

              What a great contribution you are to the site. I guess you’re right, we should get rid of everything you might even slightly consider “hate” so that we can have more contributors of your quality.
