i knew what i was signing up for when spinning up this instance, and i don't want anything that's occurred to me happen to any of y'all. diplomacy is going to be the first and foremost option, which again should be the fucking default.
and of course there'll be conflict no matter what, human nature is unavoidable in that regard, but i'll do my damndest to make sure things don't spiral out of control at least, and give people options.
i say all of this if only because i have growing concern with how many people prioritize bullshit like callout posts, defederating instances and suspending people at the slightest inconvenience and the such. and i want to avoid that as much as possible, since it causes so much instability and ultimately doesn't benefit anyone and just harms everyone.
it's tricky managing a community, don't get me wrong, but some people go on the "does literally nothing" route, and too many people go for the "i must set everything on fire" route. i'd like to take the "try to stay and calm and rational as possible" route, for the sake of everyone here.
