Hi! mastodon.social is being slow right now, as far as I can tell because there's twice as many people using it at the same time as ever have; I'm working on making it go fast again, but in the meantime, do remember to invite people to joinmastodon.org instead of directly to mastodon.social. People don't have to be on the same server to follow you! Thanks!
@tunda
this although distributes work needed for moderation, because every instance only has to moderate its own users and the check if the instances they federate with are doing the same to roughly equal standards. so you do not have to use automated moderation systems which are very questionable.
@Gargron
@tunda@layer8.space @Gargron@mastodon.social i have mine as invite only but of course i don't plan on inviting anyone except for people i know.
i think this would be a good approach though for the average instance because it would limit the amount to that much which the admins can handle approving.
