How transparent is moderation on Mastodon? Is it common for servers to publish a log of what gets blocked, removed, banned? Or to share who the moderators are?

I feel like part of what made things so frustrating on the birdsite was how much of an unaccountable black box the moderation process was. And part of what makes Mastodon so charming is how human it all is.

I assume admins are often sole moderators on small instances, but the two seem like different interests.

I think we need to come up with a hashtag where we can redirect people from India joining Mastodon. So that they can find familiar and new faces here to interact with.

Let's start populating #MastIndia!

Every once in a while use this hashtag so that people can go there and find you.

So I just had my first really delightful community interaction here. @heidilifeldman set up this great little Google Sheet populated by an online form where #lawyers #lawprofs #legalacademics et al. can say, "Hi. I'm part of the fediverse!" See https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfYDJ2Gw7lBuRufD9vW1KID6EezlGypCgKywO0kDDdDxKYeBA/viewform

But it didn't have a way to easily download a csv for import here. So we exchanged a few toots, and now there's a downloadable CSV with instructions. See https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nE8WxgwTFCuVeFA8ZfOW0qonJTSnI_d6EBSJ4E9JqtI/edit#gid=1322665293

Let me know if you have any issues/questions. :)
