I just read through all your stickies and I’m a HUGE fan!

I’m one of the main moderators for /r/TraumaAndPolitics - a small sub, but one that was aiming for a conception of community that was trauma informed, patient, and made nice people want to stick around. I also sought to have those conversations about how Politics and Trauma interrelate and honestly, this place is emblematic of what happens when leaders make trauma informed decisions about moderation and community building. Bravo!

Anyways:

As an admin of a virtual mirror of a real community (the city of Tucson) I was hoping to perhaps get some additional context for certain blocked sites - mostly so I know what the threat to the community was and can respond to it if I choose NOT to block it. The list that appears on the instance is great! And I definitely know why some communities are on there, but some others I haven’t heard about and can only guess as to the reason for the block.

Thanks in advance for any intel! Hopefully with inspiration from y’all and a little help we can make tucson.social a thriving fediverse instance for a local community in a way that actually resembles a community!

    Not a boss, but from what they’ve said, they block instances that share illegal contents or have a large amount of spammers and trolls, afaik.
