A thing that makes me very paranoid is that the mod labor is pretty obscured here because the UX tries to be familiar, and also the social dynamics are old Internet, i.e. you're not gonna get cancelled you're gonna get 3,000 words emailed to you at midnight about transgressions from a total stranger (I'm old Internet I've both sent and received those). I wish there was a big red DONATE button up top. Running one of these with say 10k users is a full-time job and I kind of hope...it becomes one, god that would be great, come on board and provide great fediverse systems to people, it'll cost $10/mo. I'll figure out how to donate in any case!
@ftrain TOTALLY agree — wouldn't it be amazing if there were a bunch of people working full-time, independently but collaboratively, on running instances? That would be a dream.
