Those moderation changes need to happen to promote wider adoption. It is holding the platform back.

I remember earlier days of this platform when there were more minorities around. I remember their complaints before they left.

@mastodonmigration @randahl @tofugolem Not sure how English part of Fedi acts like, but local (Czech) part is definitely moderated well

And here comes the biggest benefit - you do not like moderation of your instance? Do your own! 😀

"If you don't like it, do your own!" is a very Mastodon statement, and is why people don't choose Mastodon or the Fediverse.🤷🏿‍♂️

If I go to buy a car, and I tell the salesman, "Hmm, I wish it had more trunk space." The salesman might say, "Sure! Hold on one minute!" and go to the back room, and come back with some sheet metal, some cans of paint, an airbrush, an arc welder, and a grinder. With a big grin he says, "If you don't like the trunk, you can build your own! Modify your car! It's allowed!"

No.

I'm not modifying my car. I don't want to be an automotive engineer. I just want to drive to work and back.

Rather than start welding, I will just go to another manufacturer, and buy a car that is similar but with more trunk space.

This post is about moderation and safety on Mastodon.

@mekkaokereke @schmaker @mastodonmigration @randahl @tofugolem I think you're underestimating the fact that most maintainers and moderators on mastodon are not selling, so motivations are very different from those in a car retail company... or from an internet ads retail for that matter.
