What about this.
What is the point of federating?
- To spread news
- To receive feedback
- NOT to federate just to federate
- NOT to federate everything
- NOT to have an equal discussion between TSMN and Fediverse posters (because it’s technically unfeasible)
When
- TSMN project news from This place
- Cross-project news originated in Projects or General
- Help topics waiting for responses
- NOT dense topics expecting a dense discussion
Requirements
- Top post must be brief (Mastodon friendly)
- Top post must be self-contained (clear for non-TSMN music makers without further clicks)
Limitations
- Federated users may/will not receive mentions or reply notifications.
- All federated posts will be public on TSMN regardless of i.e. Mastodon privacy settings.
- Reply threads might be inconsistent / connections between posts might be lost.
Moderation
We apply the same standards to federated posts and users than to local posts and users:
- Posts drifting from the original topic may be split into a new or existing topic.
- Federated posts may be reported, hidden, unlisted, or deleted.
- Federated users may be blocked temporarily or permanently.
