Federating The Social Music Network

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.
