If this takes off I will give mod access to the r/calgary mods I just intended to park the name so it wasn't stolen by someone who didn't intend to moderate it.

I'm not sure what you mean by bullshit free, that's pretty ambiguous. What you consider bullshit might not be for someone else etc. That said I think I'm pretty good with moderation, in general. I helped mod r/Calgary for I think 7 years? before it became too much. So much toxicity and drama, it was making me miserable and wasting my time over the most trivial of things. I still use reddit but haven't used that sub since I left so I'm not even sure what it's like now. I still see it sometimes when people drop links to posts in my Discord server but that's about it.

For this place... I would personally roll with the same basic rules lemmy.ca has:

  • no posting/commenting with hate/racism/bigotry
  • no spamming
  • no sharing private info like names/phone numbers/etc
  • posts must be relevant to Calgary in some way

Don't give a shit to babysit people, they can just block someone if they don't want to communicate with them. It's cool when people agree to disagree. Not everyone will agree with everything else but as long as you can share your feelings in a civil way, good stuff.

This place seems small and new enough where deeper conversations could be possible. There will probably be one-offs where someone will refuse to stop being a huge toxic asshole to everyone else, but I imagine that would infrequent, especially with the lemmy.ca mini-application to even create an account.
