@Raccoon A good litmus test for this is if you would suspend a small instance where right-wing hate groups PragerU, Libs of TikTok, and Moms4Liberty are welcome.

WelshPixie failed that test when she effectively said (paraphrasing), “We protect dot art users from harmful servers, except the large ones because reaching customers is more important.”

@Vorsos
To play devil's advocate for her, there is a difference between a little server that was literally made so that Nazis would have a place to post, and a server that is so big that posts start slipping through the cracks, simply because of volume. I know one of my issues I had when I had an account there was that she had blocked Kolektiva because I guess there was "too much harassment" coming out of it, despite it being a large server.

Let's not forget that Mastodon.social, where the vast majority of new users come in through, is the literal elephant in the room when it comes to this concept. Moderation is weak there because they pretty much have to take all good faith users, and their moderation team can't keep up with the volume of posts. About half of the reports we get here are on things from that server, but we're willing to deal with that because the majority are good actors.

@Raccoon @Vorsos Let threads in and watch that majority of good actors evaporate.
