MODERATORS
It doesnt help that mod tools here are very anti-user. Not even in a hostile way, the tools just arent finished or even made yet, so its very hard for users to play by the rules or know when theyre punished.
Like how you need to scroll through the modlog to see if your post/comment was deleted, and if youre lucky they might include why. Or how unclear and obtuse it is to check the instance global rules which change when you visit other communities, who themselves have a different list of rules.
These probably all have solutions, but thats gonna take time to build. And moderation is probably gonna be kinda wild west-esque until they are running.
A lot of why I’m reserving judgment is because everything is so very young still. It’ll take a lot of time and effort to develop it into something more mature.
Thats the same reason Im here. Learn the way this works while its developing, so if it evolves into a well developed community Ill already know my way around.
I'm also open to the idea that there's really no good social media, even when federated. We may still have to deal with hateful and insecure mods, for instance.
