@paul @maegul @aral Personally, I would rather not sign up to an entirely unmoderated instance and find myself having to block countless bots, conspiracy theorists, and bigots.

Moderation is essential. It's just better when the moderators have the same principles as I do. One of the great things about decentralisation, though, is that I could move to another instance if I find I can't trust Fosstodon's admins anymore.

For now, I'm reserving judgement as I think this was a technical glitch.
