I am working on rebuilding one of my communities. Originally it was a small fanfiction thing but as I have another fan related domain I decided to make this one a Dark Fiction site and community.

Thing is that Dark Fiction can get... Dark.

So while I am working on the ideas and which software to use for community, I need to figure out what is allowed for rules and discussion.

Obviously moderation would need to be far more lax than say Mastodon.art or anything from Europe. You can't start banning everyone who talks about dark topics if they follow that topic to its darker logical conclusion.

Obviously Harrassment, KYS statements, Actual Racism, and a few other things should be banned. But discussion of how a racists bigoted character might address something shouldn't be.

I live in the US so 1st Amendment is pretty open ended.

Figured I would put this out to discuss cause it is such a disconnect between what most people would generally expect from an instance due to the subject matter.

ActivityPub support is a core feature of NodeBB 4.0. It has some mild compatibility issues with Lemmy at the moment -- you can cross-communicate, but you can't currently treat Lemmy communities as NodeBB forum categories -- but it works surprisingly well with Mastodon.
