       @pierce Great piece with this super important point.  “But of all the things left for the Fediverse to figure out, content moderation will be the thorniest: it’s an expensive, complicated thing to get right, and without good content moderation, social platforms simply don’t work. “It doesn’t *have* to be expensive or complicated if we understand the role of humans to create culture vs moderate after the fact.

       @debs@pierce if you have an open instance, moderation costs rise quickly. there will always be Adolfs and sympathizers. And they'll wreak havoc and gloat on 4chan when they get banned300 users is fairly easy. 3k users is hard. 30k users it's a full-time jobI chunked my diaspora* instance because I got uncomfortable with lack of moderation tools at maybe 100 users. My friends that eventually chunked their 10k+ instance had a FBI agent phone number and some things a mod sees requires therapy
