If you wanna go pick a fight. Keep the instance name out of your damn mouth. Fight your own battles.

Thank you, but I was on Reddit making similar comments. I get it, though. Being decentralised means if a community on one instance goes sour, people can recreate that community on another instance (or it's already been made) and people can flock to the one they think is run better โ€” or ultimately suits their needs. Problem is, a lot of people don't really care about moderator abuses as long as it isn't being done to them. Like when the Reddit admin accused an app developer of blackmail and the app developer came with the receipts (he recorded the phone call), a lot of people did back him, but after a few weeks they were still right where they were and people even started turning against the app developer. I'm not sure a federated community would do much better. I hope I'm wrong about that. Even with another federated community, everyone you know is already on the bad one and the good one doesn't have enough of the good people. "Be the change you want to see in the world" and all that but it's still a chicken/egg situation.
