Finally, a bio. Here are a list of past and present interests: \#comics #rpgs #sf #physics #literature #environmentalism #music #politics #antideathpenalty #law #photography #computers #film #journalism. Careerwise, in the last 25 years I've worked for a telecom and an insurance company in increasingly nerdy areas. Film collector, reader, journaler. #physicalmedia I'm also a vegetarian/pescatarian of 35 years.
A policy is built by informed consent. There has to be a process and a reasoning and human hands who can be held accountable when things aren't done right. I don't think any Fedi instances are doing "policy" by that definition. And that's entirely because they don't want their users/trolls to use/game the system, I believe.
In my experience, the problem with small instances isn't content quality or community, it's moderator/administrator transparency and competency.
