@Mastodon will you be using any of the proceeds to hire moderators for your instance?
@Ethancdavenport @Mastodon While toot.garden still has them silenced, their moderation team has greatly increased in speed of handling reports, etc. They already pay their moderators as well.
@linkeddev the question was rhetorical. all open reg instances suck shit
@Ethancdavenport @linkeddev what's wrong with open reg, I don't wanna have to manually get approved to join the fedi, and not many people really do

@10volt @linkeddev if a nazi can sign up onto an instance with zero vetting or oversight, that is a bad instance posing a clear and present danger to marginalized fedi users.

i don’t care what you or “many other people” want. i want zero nazis on my federated social media platform.

@Ethancdavenport @10volt @linkeddev
What vetting process could possibly stop a Nazi who wants to hide who they are during an application? You gonna doxx everyone before they join?
