I see a lot of interesting conversations in my timeline around moderation and how to scale it and that's exciting. At the same time, I feel like a lot of it is being approached from a technical perspective and not from an political/organizing perspective.

Structures are good and necessary, but in my experience, unless your community is well-defined and there has been enough political education into the implications of the structure, there is a good chance it will be perceived as oppressive, and perceived oppression can be a real challenge to overcome because it breaks trust and highlights relationships with power.

In other words, the best way to organize is to have those one-on-one conversations and do the house visits.
