Even when Twitter’s T&S infrastructure was at its most functional – which I’d say was 2021-mid 2022 – I sometimes saw appeals on content decisions, suspensions, etc. take 2-3 months unless I escalated to personal contacts at the company.

I keep seeing folks expect #moderation and community management decisions on volunteer-run fedi instances to happen in hours – not even days – and jumping to defederation when they don’t get immediate responses. It’s going to burn out so many admins, and makes me sad and worried about the sustainability and scalability of our communities.

What can help with this is not usually using your admin account to browse your own instance, to block your admin account on your second account and to schedule a fixed box of time for technical maintenance and community moderation (separately).
Deal with reports thrice a week for 30min instead of twice a day for an hour and you save 5.5h of your valuable time. This helps to focus and be more efficient.
Also, get some people you trust to moderate the site.
