I really want to lift up the mods of the SFBA instance: @cd24, @Ingurido, @jeffkibuule

I, a Black woman, have had a marvelous experience on Mastodon because these mods don't play. For being a place-specific instance, SFBA has a very clearly expressed value system and it's reflected in the mods. They are proactive, even-handed, and respectful.

I wish others on #BlackMastodon and through the #BlackFediverse could say the same of their instance mods.

@DeliaChristina @cd24 @Ingurido @jeffkibuule So glad to hear it. I chose SFBA (when my first server shut down) because I perceived them to be on top of moderation (and handling money and other admin stuff). But I also realize that to know whether there is a problem with moderation, I need to listen to people who are, or would be likely to be, on the receiving end of nasty behavior.
