   @hugot I'm a Dutch resident who lives fairly close to amsterdam. The deciding factor for me is how you define your server rules and what promises you make to your users. I dont really trust the majority of mastodon administrators.

     @hugot I think for many your rules will cover the basics and that will be enough for you guys to grow.

     I myslf am really picky as are many others though. Some are scared of undue censorship, others are scared everyone like them wont be censored. Very few people, in practice, want a balance (ironically). At some point or another you'll probably need to decide where you fall more specifically.

     @Please

     I dont think its nearly that simple. Every instance engages in at least some level of sensorship. Dn't believe me, here is a simple test: write a toot that says "fuck you" to the moderator of your current instance. Repeat said toot every minute for an hour then create a new account on the server and do it again, every hour repeat with a new account.. Garuntee you before the end of the day your accounts will start getting blocked and the email servers you used quickly blacklisted.

     You cant have a functioning server without some degree of censorship. The question is simply which sensorship is appropriate and which isnt.
