MODERATORS
I don't see any of you kids hosting your own instance and taking on the legal liability for yourselves. Just shit posting and bitching
You register at the DMCA website and respond timely to DMCA requests, while doing a decent enough job moderating.
That's literally it.
Isn't the issue lies on the fact that you cannot moderate what's posted on other instances but you have to store everything because you're federated ?
No, you have full control over what shows up on your instance and moderation actions are federated. So actions taken by admins and mods of the original instance federate to me, meaning I really don't have to do much work on my side. I think I've only had to take a few actions myself since starting my instance. I don't know if my mod actions are federated back to the original instance, but as it's not hosted by me, I don't care much.
And then
Catch the dissonance there?
... No? I know for a fact mod actions federate to me because I can see them in the mod log and in the interface. I can see which posts and comments were removed and which users were banned.
Edit: If you're implying there's dissonance between me caring about mod actions federating to me, but not caring that my mod actions may or may not federate out, the difference is that I'm not hosting any communities. I have a tiny, inactive, special topic community, and support and announcement communities. If I was hosting a big, active community, obviously I would care a lot more about moderation federation.
