- "The instance is moderated quite effectively" I can't assess this, but imagine that the users' perspective and the moderators' can be very different. The moderator can invest hours a day into their community, and feel accomplished if they succeed in removing a shock image in five minutes. I commend that. From the user's perspective, it's an outrage if a single one shows up on the timeline. The tolerance for these things is approximately zero; it's not sufficient merely to work very hard and have a very fast response rate.
