What are the first signs of a hostile fascist take over a fediverse instance? (piefed.ca)

It would probably follow the Reddit model that began in 2018. Maybe Lemmy.today is the first example of this.

  1. Admins ask members left of liberalism to keep the conversation in the centre.
  2. Rules are no longer enforced and are watered down.
  3. Frivolous bans.
  4. Removal of moderators.
  5. Defederation from other instances.
  6. Ads introduced in the sidebar and posts.

Liberalism isn't left or right it's about government involvement.

You could just as easily have more rules, like saying who is allowed to post/comment.

2/3 will happen no matter what

4 is usually tied to brigading

5 I think that's more to do with running costs.

A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.
