The Fediverse can be pretty toxic
drewdevault.com

Social networks are not good for you. The Fediverse brought out the worst in me, and it can bring out the worst in you, too. The behaviors it encourages are plainly defined as harassment, a behavior which is not unique to any ideological condition. People get hurt on the Fediverse. Keep that in mind. Consider taking a look in the mirror and asking yourself if your relationship with the platform is healthy for you and for the people around you.

He's not wrong tbh, I wonder for how much longer I'll stick around this place, seeing as its the last form of social media I actually use

      Yeah, one way around the ‘scalability’ problem is to limit the size of each community and just make it easy for more people to set them up.

      The issue is, that still places an upper bound on a community of ‘however many mods necessary to read every communication in real time’. You can try to make it more efficient by having mods only look at reported content, I guess.

      Actually, that tends to resemble moderation on reddit itself. It’s easy to create new communities, and mods mostly just look at reported content. It helps too that they only really have to catch the edge cases of undesirable vote-positive content, rather than all content.
