There's a real degree of civility here. The easy explanation for that is that the community is still small, so people are polite in the same way Iceland is civil or a countryclub is a civil.

Hopefully that insulates this place against needing to crack down on the kind of bigotry or harmful posting you see on other platforms. But either way, let Substack be the model for /farcaster. Better to allow some vile posting and let the social marketplace sort it out than step into the quagmire of censorship according to shifting social norms.
