What are your approach to moderating a Lemmy Community?
I'm attempted to MAYBE give a try running my own community which one of them would be for Gen-Z. My reason is the r/GenZ subreddit is badly moderated where there's a lot of bigotry and also bit of Generation-bashing which leads to stupid dramas. It would be in somewhat the format of like both causal conversation and any community/groups that talks about their nostalgia. I don't want any elitism about literally the year someone is born, just seems like a weird thing to act self-righteous about.
How do you handle politics? I tried to occasionally read up about politics but I'm not as up to date as I find if I read too much of it, it does affect my mental health for the worse. One thing I want for sure is to not make my community into a "Nazi Bar" but I'm not sure how good I am for spotting Nazis unless it the most well-known dogwistles. I know there's going to some stuff I don't agree with but it how do I know it's a red-flag that needs to be addressed and when it is just them having a different view.
I don't believe in banning politics for it unless there's bunch of people would prefer it and have a valid reason. I have some stuff I want to talk about which I say is somewhat political and want to say it to other Zoomers like me and talk about it like Job-search, money etc. Last thing I want to do is make it taboo to talk about it and give them a safe space to talk about it without feeling like someone would dismissed them.
