Who moderates this when content is reported?
Can mastodon detect porn automatically and hide it?
Anybody can build a social network today, the most difficult task is and always will be moderation.
- red_trumpet 4y agoEvery instance has its own moderation, there is no central moderation. Porn is not detected automatically, but most instances require you to put it behind a content warning. Then it will not be shown automatically, you have to click to view it.
- mxuribe 4y agoIf you run your own instance of an activityPub server - e.g. mastodon, gotosocial, pixelfed, etc. - for, let's say, yourself or your family, then you will have vastly more capabilities to moderate content (way easier and more reliable than relying on others to do so). If your next question is: why do i have to moderate the content myself? ...Then, your expectations are not aligned with (and/or you misunderstand) the greater fediverse's design. I think the kids would say: "You're holding/using it wrong." ;-)
