All the fedi meta related posts make me remember the good and bad times of me writing up the Fediverse Friendly Moderation Covenant.
And...a few years later being called a "nazi" for it.
Some people interpreted "commiting to the least amount of moderation required to keep up federation, but keeping your instance safe" as not moderating at all, and when that led to users of the covenant getting blocked I decided to not recommend it anymore.
All the meta business is tough stuff.
