Liking all the stuff in the awoo guidelines, but I wish I could have scrolled through it before I picked a random instance to join. Maybe I could have? It's hard, this stuff isn't super clear.
@ok yeah it's a big issue imho. default mastodon install just encourages signup without reading
one small thing icosahedron.website does is making the default landing page the 'about' page instead, which talks about that specific instance, with link to its 'rules' page upfront, rather than buried
@bunnyhero that's great, they should all do that. So far this community is way better than mastodon.xyz but I wonder if it'll be too insular for me in the future when more friends start to join other instances
Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.
