Mastodon should ask you to pick a "moderator" not an "instance".

The latter is obscure technical detail. The former is about people, and power, and explainable to anyone.

"You pick which person or organisation you want to decide who and what is banned. You can change it later."

@moh_kohn This, except I call it "trust & safety team (T&S) and infrastructure maintainers". I feel like this conveys that it's also who you trust to keep your access working through both social & technical troubles and not to just pack up and leave everyone stranded without their data & connections.

@dalias @moh_kohn I feel like this gives the impression that instance admins work full time, when they mostly don't
