 @Lucinda basically, Mastodon-the-company is making promises all around, to others on fedi and to new people joining fedi being funneled onto m.s, that m.s will always be moderated amazingly well. And I don't think they will be able to keep these promises. Which, due to the "Mastodon-is-fedi" thing, will reflect very poorly on all of fedi. 5 comments
@ocdtrekkie or having a small enough community that a single mod/admin can handle it when they wake up.  @rysiek @Lucinda @pearlbear @thisismissem It's less about the volume but the response time. Though I am excited about the possibility of something like IFTAS helping smaller servers moderate above their scale.  @rysiek @Lucinda @pearlbear @thisismissem @ocdtrekkie trolls are *constantly* targeting folk on here; but they more often use their own smaller instances, behind the scenes instance admins are constantly defederating those. To be fair many medium-size/larger instance admins /do/ stomp on troll accounts quite quickly as they don't want to risk being defederated @rysiek @Lucinda @pearlbear @thisismissem @ocdtrekkie there's however a problem due to the international nature of Fedi, timezones and potential language barriers, I remember a few years back trolls from Western countries targeting Japanese run instances to take advantage of the 8 hour time differences. The solution to this is to recruit a very multicultural range of mods who know multiple languages and are active in different time zones (which some instances do now have) |

@rysiek @Lucinda @pearlbear @thisismissem There will definitely be other servers that are there, but I think a key part of moderation is having a team with wide coverage, not just "issues will get fixed when admin wakes up next".
