lots of small instances. If you only have few dozen to few hundred users (think a few families, or maybe a small to medium corp) it not that hard to moderate.

lots of small instances.
If you only have few dozen to few hundred users (think a few families, or maybe a small to medium corp) it not that hard to moderate. Hell even few thousand is manageable.
Plus if one instance is constant problem you can just block it.
- Matumio 7y agoI hope someone has a better answer. Remember all those small forums, wikis, and wordpress blogs with open comments? Some admins spent hours manually reverting automated linkspam. Others didn't. The solution was to pay centralized services like google's recaptcha or disqus with the user's data. Mastodon is looking okay so far. But I don't think spammers are seriously targeting it yet.
- unionpivo 7y agoI mean that is the whole point of federated services. If we just end up replacing one big silo with another (even if its OS at start), we haven't done much.
