I've been on a #calckey instance for 5+ months. I've used the post migration feature recently. I have concerns. Like it's nice when it's small accounts on small instances, but already new folks on calckey.social are wondering where these old posts are popping up from and why they're getting interactions from from a migration.

I've seen some admins express concern about the legal implications of importing and hosting posts made on other servers with different ToS'.
Or that content that wouldn't be allowed on an instance now being imported in and being seen.
Or stuff that should be behind a CW on a new instance getting seen on import by folks.

Now I'm a friend of the project and user, but the instance flagship server has really raised red flags in my mind about a propensity for new bling while still ignoring the many safety and moderation tools that users have been also asking for, particularly from marginalised communities.

We promised QT with good moderation and didn't had a mod team in place beyond Calc & Chris when the influx happened. Folks barely used CWs and our #queer #calckey sister instance had to up our filters to turn down some of the noise in our timelines because we were also interacting and sharing our Calckey knowledge.

I'm quite cynical and jaded by what I've seen. I think we've overhyped the bling and underdelivered on the granular controls, safety, Fedi culture, and even with QTs, our instances won't be much a better experience for #BlackMastodon folx if my experience on the generalist instance as a #queer, #trans woman is anything to go by.
