It helps that while the subject matter is different, the basic setup should theoretically be the same as Fanfiction.
Forums focused on Topics, Moderation based on Actions taken and not just ideas, and keep the bad faith actors in check as much as possible. Genuinely bad people and Witch Hunters both.
The only difference from my old Fanfiction days compared to this is I don't think I will build a general archive page to support it. I will probably encourage people to build their own sites to publish their content.
I am pretty much thinking NodeBB will be my go to for the actual software. Because you are right, this is more like an old school forum, and that's how I handled things before everyone decided to just sterilize the Internet.
I don't necessarily agree with requiring certain things to be portrayed as being a negative, but that's a creative disagreement really. I kinda feel it would be more powerful a read if someone had to hear that and see a character not account for those things. If only as a warning for how easily it is to let the road to Hell be paved with your Good Intentions.
The fall to Darkness isn't something someone goes through seeing how it's a bad thing after all.
I definitely will need good Mods and another Admin. I definitely need to have people willing to bounce not just blatant bad people but those same witch hunters that seem to infect everywhere these days.
Witch Hunts always do more harm than good. And being part of one group or another shouldn't excuse Harrassment or other bad behavior.
True. And keeping the technical specs low would be best since this might be combined with a web page for an Archive. That being said, encouraging people to build their own sites is something I would prefer since content support is a pain of a different flavor.
Yeah, I am gonna host the community on its own server. I figured it be too difficult in general because of the subject matter to figure out a good moderation policy. Trying to do this on someone else's server would be near impossible I think.
And the Upvote/Downvote situation is a big reason I am really concidering not using Lemmy as software for it. It is too open for abuse and brigading is a problem Reddit has and refuses to deal with.
NodeBB recently added ActivityPub support, I think through a plugin, so I was gonna use that.
While I wouldn't mind it if it's worth the time, I recently played around with Audacious with skins and found a skin that made it look exactly like winamp. I can't move jt around in KDE Plasma 5 in Wayland, but it does work well in Enlightenment 0.26 on X11.
There is also the fact that this isn't a platform as much as it's a framework that uses and open protocol. Right leaning people can setup Mastodon, Lemmy, Friendica, and so forth as easily as left wingers.
The biggest problem in general has been people treating Fediverse setups like traditional ones. Facebook, Twitter, Discord are all run by central companies.
Mastodon, Lemmy, Matrix, have the benifit of being usable as bases for people to setup individual communities for themselves and still have some networking.

Thanks PenPen... You're the only one who ever listens...

This looks like some other things I have heard of before.
Makes me wonder how many ancient desert cultures designed ways to cool the air in their structures.
It's not so much that it suggests it's supported, it's how the ansible install talks about setup.
Specifically this from Lemmy Ansible
This makes me think you can setup multiple domains in the host_vars directory
It would, but crashing a process becomes really easy with lower ram.
Different domains. I got three domains to get running.
And honestly the documentation isn't helping.
Gentoo is my prefered distro.
