   For all users, it's worth checking out the mastodon.social content moderation guidelines, at https://mastodon.social/about/more

   As @sonya points out, not everyone may be happy with them.

   As our host @Gargron point out, if you don't like them, you can run your own instance.

   But instances choose who they peer with... so the Mastodon-based network may balkanize.

     I'm starting to think that the right use-case for Mastodon is not as a Twitter alternative (long-term public presence) but as a Slack alternative (private and often short-lived discussion groups, or organizational intranet).

     A group is motivated to pay for its own instance so long as it is useful... Who is motivated to operate one as a public service, with years-long commitment?

     @meaningness The Slack alternative is #matrix ( https://matrix.org/ ), specifically, https://riot.im/app/ . It federates, and there are bridges to other services, for example I participate on #freenode through it.
     
     @lambadalambda offers an independent #riot instance at https://matrix.heldscal.la/ .

     @clacke @lambadalambda @meaningness If you want something directly comparable to slack, youre better served with Mattermost

     @maiyannah @lambadalambda @meaningness Not federated though, although devs have mentioned that they might want to add a Matrix backend in the future.

     @Meaningness @sonya I've watched this play out and have had to deal with it since the first time it happened, I may have made the first (long-term) server ever completely blocked by other servers. I've watched how it played out with my own and with other servers if you ever want to know about that.
