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.

@leigh this is one of the reasons I developed the “Rules of Engagement” which helps me quickly evaluate a situation and prioritize my strategy…folx seldom consider the human toll moderation takes, particularly when they’re actively being “harmed”, on those tasked with this role…the only real long-term solution I see is the establishment of strong community norms rooted in harm reduction, for self-regulation, while leaving the more complex decisions to a core team…not perfect though

Thanks for the framework,

Could you provide #AltText?
I try not to boost post without it and here I'm torn 🙂
(at the same time I have the feeling that my alt tex would capture it adequately 😬​)

@realn2s @leigh the #AltText was already added to the images. Just click on them.
@KimCrayton1 @leigh
😳​
My bad, I didn't realize how the Web client showed AltText. Sorry
And boosted 🙂
