@llimllib @interfluidity@fosstodon.org a strange thing is that my intuitions are that local communities might have more freewheeling norms than are appropriate for public broadcast (and have admired / wanted hometown style local-only posting for that). but so far my experience has been local norms more restrictive than the broader network. it must depend upon the particular locality, but absent local-only posting, federation creates incentives for cautious norms at every instance.
