The problem with decentralized is more of UX and latency than moderation, IMO.
Just look at Mastodon. The issue is not the crazy content you get from time to time. What’s annoying is waiting for media to appear on your timeline and explaining newcomers that they must choose a server and the double @@ thing.
The second is a one-time thing at signup and perhaps surpassable. The first is a deal breaker. Anyone used to Instagram and TikTok’s timeline would just dismiss it as broken on the spot.

- acdha 3y agoI think of those as priorities for when you need to start focusing on each one. Latency is a huge deal for starting to use a service, moderation affects what happens after people do start adoption. You have to get big enough to attract spammers, organized trolls, etc.

- ThrowawayTestr 3y agoLoading a picture from one small instance to another takes tens of seconds, practically dial up speeds.
- tambourine_man 3y agoI wish it was tens of seconds only. Most of the time, I get tired of waiting and open the browser version where, for some reason, it loads.
