Moderation does scale poorly, which is why twitter is a shitshow and smaller forums (like this one) have a chance of being well moderated.
- fleddr 4y agoI get what you're saying, but you're missing some important aspects. I wasn't commenting on the quality of moderation, instead on the scalability. Instance owners are easily overwhelmed and this problem gets worse as things grow. Second, if your point is to create a tightly-moderated instance bubble, then Mastodon's federation features will largely go unused. If that is the outcome, then there's no point to Mastodon. You can recreate such spaces everywhere, for free.
