@mekkaokereke this is very bad and needs fixed. I'm not sure what I can possibly do about it, but if you have any ideas I'll take them up.

I don't like the "therefore we need a corporate platform" logic going on in that thread, twitter is a bad bad place and many of us have been targeted for harassment by accounts that have never faced sanction.

But there is clearly a race problem on some mastodon instances. Something must be done.

@moh_kohn
I think a lot of this comes down to helping users pick the right instance up front, and helping instances scale moderation to meet this wave of new Mastodon users.

There's a huge difference in experience for Black folks that landed on smaller instances with good moderation, and those that didn't.

It's much easier to scale the technical infra than the moderation infra. Effectively moderating 100,000 users is more than 100 times harder than moderating a thousand users
