The trouble is how to judge them. Automated censorship of others is invisible unless they announce it or you somehow know what you should have been able to see.

- vidarh 3y agoMastodon instances tend to have admins who are if anything pretty loud and argumentative about what their mod policies are. If that matters to you, you can easily find instances that make a point of being open about what they block. A whole lot of people don't care about the how or why as long as they're not subjected to content they don't want to see, and that's their choice.
