Increasing transparency with administrative actions
Increasing transparency with administrative actions
Firstly, I'd like to apologize for the lack of transparency we've had on Pawb.Social, compared to our usual standards with the Mastodon instances.
We should ensure that all of our users are well aware of when we make important decisions that may affect their abilities to view content from other instances.
So for that, I'm sorry.
Secondly, we've now created an additional community over at /c/adminlog which will document all of the administrative-level decisions taken by the Admin team which won't show up in the Modlog.
These decisions will include: Defederation, removal of community images (banners / icons), addition / removal of moderators, and addition / removal of instance admins.
We'll prefix each post with tags to identify what type of action it is at a glance followed by the instance or community name, and detail in the post what action we took and why we took it.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can leave them here or post them in the feedback community as many of you already have done.
Thanks, Crashdoom
It might be worth having some sort of reevaluation plan, maybe every year or two for the defederated. Communities do change and people sometimes grow up.
This is also in the middle of a massive amount of growth.
I'd agree, and at the very least once a year would be ample time for an instance to resolve any issues. We're also open to instances reaching out to discuss refederation as well when they believe they've addressed the concerns listed on their deferation notice, both here and on Mastodon as well.
