I'm not sure moderation scales down well either. It's easy to say "the community" decides but in practice that means it's down to the handful of people who step up and do all the work. And people interested in volunteering their time for free to moderate don't always have the personality type we'd prefer.
That's why it's so concerning to me that Mastodon admins can interfere with your ability to leave an instance. Like email, you're to an extent dependent on your old provider to forward.
- CM30 3y agoYeah that's another issue. You're also dependent on the moderators on your instance being reasonable people and being fair to those using it. But sadly that's gonna be a problem with instances of any size. If Twitter or Facebook or Instagram close your account, your data is probably just gone as well.
- mycall 3y agoWhy leave an instance when you can just create a new identity and link them together on your identity chain?
