@JoeSondow It's disappointing and frustrating but fwiw that post deletion was from a mishandled user report by a recently appointed moderator and was reversed the same day with an apology statement from the instance operator.
The recent moderator onboardings are in effort to improve the quality and response times of report handling on m.s especially considering the massive spike in users, clearly more training and support for this is needed but there have been genuine efforts to improve it
designing new paraflex sub enclosures for a club I've been doing sound engineering at!
2x18 Type O "CRAM" - roughly 72x36x26 inches and tuned to go all the way down to 30Hz ^^
still need to put the final bracing in place and then on to small details like handles/wiring block
for ex:
some instances have big moderation teams, small instances not so much.
some are fash instances and should clearly be blocked, others will block your server (and you) if you didn't (manually) block their specific list of fash instances.
tools such as RBLs would be a practical improvement (especially for small instances) but then surely an org needs to be created to administer such a thing?
how do local laws apply? switter and it's disbandment is humbling to me, to say the least.
Also imo there is a lot to figure out regarding what good moderation looks like and who's responsible for what
there are some (good) community norms already especially regarding anti-bigotry and anti-fascism but the independently operated nature of a federated network really complicates the matter, especially when it comes to making decisions which can determine the accessibility of large chunks fediverse content for their users (fediverse domain blocks)
