@The_Jackal apologies for suspicions! I've been on edge ever since the latest exploits in terms of python, rust over distros, and now a new one with freebsd Dx warm regards to you!
@knshow you're welcome, by the way! always glad to help in any way I can, and will take part in due time with the new japanese culture subspace.
@balloon hope some of the dialogue helped to figure out a good baseline for how to approach moderation. apologies also my own anecdotes to do with speaking against the more sordid negative aspects of moderation that have popped up from the sides of like discord as you have familiarity with or like with reddit as has been brought up here. I don't mean to attach any stigma onto any generalized direction especially considering there can be good moderation over those venues. I just mean to speak from personal observation about the negative aspects potential.

I’m so glad to see that even though our countries and cultures are different, many of us are coming to Geminispace because we’re tired of the negative sides of the modern web. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! :)

Hi. I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience as a moderator (even outside of this BBS), or if you have friends who are mods—what kind of things do you keep in mind? In Japan, "moderator" usually brings to mind people on YouTube Live, Twitch, or Wiki sites. Is it the same overseas? I’d appreciate any insights you can share. Thanks!
