@atomicpoet my mistake, I see that your original post addressed social.mastodon only!

@atomicpoet Thanks for the clarification. Yes, large instances will have the same problems that Twitter has but on a smaller scale.

@atomicpoet

Yes, after reading your bio I see you have a deep understanding of Mastodon. But I disagree with you that Mastodon is “unsustainable”. In my opinion, decentralised moderation is the key to it’s sustainability.

@atomicpoet
Hi Chris, fortunately, every Mastodon instance performs it’s own moderation. They can delete the connection to any other instance that violates it’s content standards. There is no central authority that performs moderation and this is good.

Yes, there will be alt-right instances and other skewers of unacceptable content but they will be isolated by being banned by other instances until they are reduced to talking amongst themselves.
