Anyone can set up and run their own server on here.

This is great for lots of reasons (outlined here: https://fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse-on-so-many-separate-servers/) but it also means that a small minority of servers may be run by nasty people, and potentially contain nasty content.

Fortunately, most server admins use server blocks to prevent their users having any contact with rogue servers.

If you see something bad on here, it's important to report it so that your admin can take action. Click on ⋯ and "report" to report a post.

@feditips Thank you!

One thing that comes up in my day job periodically is the financial capability of a utility, such as a drinking water system. To a lesser extent, the same question applies to the Fediverse; small operators need to have a financial model that allows them to keep the system maintained and operational.

What are the current best practices for server admins to be able to continue providing services for their users?

Most servers depend on donations from their users. If you use a server it's a good idea to send some money to your admin, they usually have a donation link on the server's About page.
