@evan

those three other options imply my brother (and other conservatives who would never troll anybody) would never be allowed on a server that is widely federated here.

EDIT: I guess I'm assuming the people, principles and culture you're talking about based on my experience here for a number of years.

"if you're interested in _______, join our fedi server where we talk about _______ etc."

yea no. an #ActivityPub server is not a community. it's a portal to the whole network that hopefully provides you a nice name but should primarily be chosen for its mod policy and cause you like/trust the owners. one personal account and maybe eventually another one for work, school etc. #SocialWeb

but people have lots of interests and those each deserve their own private group. via #matrix or #lemmy etc.
