What good is a Code of Conduct on a federated platform?
Jerks will just go to a different instance.
Is there a real value there?
@WomanCorn yes, absolutely! its about locus of control corresponding better to real-world conditions; you can't make people you dont like stop existing, but you CAN limit your exposure to them. booting people you dont like off your instance and managing federation is a good way of doing this IMO. do you not think so?
@pee_zombie I saw a conversation where people were talking about what instance is best* and mentioning a specific instance having a great Code of Conduct and I was very confused.
It's _nice_ that most people on Schelling are part of the same social circle, but I follow enough off-instance people that the Schelling CoC doesn't really have much to do with what I see.
* for $minority $activity, of course.
@WomanCorn yeah, this very much depends on:
1. the degree to which one uses local vs federated TL
2. the federation policy of the instance
both of which we've barely begun figuring out, admittedly, but i imagine that these will become more important over time as we encounter moderation incidents and preferences emerge subsequently
