i also find this hilarious because the worst case scenario is the fediverse becomes what it was a month ago when the rest of you were all on twitter
even if it is supported in your instance, it may not be supported in apps, etc…
so like, chill; we’re the ones in control
this isn't iOS where new updates get downloaded and applied while you sleep and suddenly everything is different
it takes YEARS for any new feature to become widespread on the fediverse
i’ve seen a number of new admins asking for advice on when to block over the past few weeks
ordinarily i do not reply to these posts because my approach to moderation is pretty different from typical mastodon culture so i feel like it might send a wrong signal about what to generally expect from admins
but maybe i should try to put together a page for it so people can see
today feels like a good day for a reminder that even though the community of mastodon instances are often touted as a kind of anarchism which works, a stance which i mostly agree with:
most mastodon admins and mod teams have not had any kind of training in anarchist antiviolent community interventions. we’re actually really bad at settling our differences and getting along
okay, starting a new game, they DON’T (currently) support other spanishes but DO specifically label it as “Español (España)” which they don’t do for any other language
which means if they DON’T have latin american spanish, they are at least planning for it
