    We are vastly more active and would be more powerful than .world, their comments sections would be completely different if we were in them.

    but not so wide that it becomes just like Reddit but federated

    I’ve always felt that should be handled by bans, not by defederation. Banning the hoggiest hogs and just leaving behind the ones that are capable of being influenced.

    The initial federation shock would be large but over several weeks the worst of the worst would be filtered out by bans, leaving behind a generally ok crowd that just need influencing.

    Some of them would convert to bears, some of them would not.

    This was basically the formula that worked for CTH. Although, CTH’s modteam was considerably more unhinged than Hexbear’s.

      In that way it’s kind of like tending a garden. You rip out (user ban) what threatens to bring down the diversity and integrity of it, maybe you prune (removing posts) some of the intended stuff that doesn’t grow in the right direction, and you keep looking for more stuff to plant (users and content).
