Seen some posts talk about #moderation worries on the two large #Mastodon instances, .social and .online - scale seems to have outstripped moderation capability; other notable instances (such as .art) have now #silenced them to mitigate harmful content.

If you're on one of the two larger instances, you may want to think about moving/#migration to a smaller one. Doing so has benefits - it better distributes the network and eases the load on big servers.

Boosts for higher reach welcome!

@BicycleBen Moderation has always been a bit, um, lighter, here though. that's part of it.

@fishidwardrobe If that's the position an instance wants to take, that's fine, and the business of its admin(s). But if it leads to an increase in hateful or other objectionable content, it's understandable that others may not want to see it.

Given the recent role of .online and .social in onboarding people migrating from the bird site to Mastodon, it's fair that they're aware of the situation.

What people do with that info is up to them.
