  Yes, communities on here already roll with some of these rules. Some don’t want double link posting or want to ban specific urls or specific keywords - they just have to do it manually. This can cause mod burnout over time.

    That could happen in the future but at the moment and in the past surely we lost more mods as a result of their community being dead than from their community being too active. But we don’t hear from them because they feel rejected and like they failed so they slink away quietly.

      True. I am just mostly trying to make a record of this stuff for the future. Obviously in the event of these tools existing, mods wouldn’t have to turn them on.

      I definitely think there needs to be some rough guide on making your community federated and then advertising it effectively so communities can get that early kick.

        We can draft something on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip
