MODERATORS
Anyone is welcome, that's the entire point of making it decentralized.
Each user, each community and each instance has control over how they conduct themselves and what behaviour they find acceptable.
If you don't like your spot in the fediverse, you can pick another, or roll your own.
If others don't like your behaviour, they can deal with that within their own sphere of influence.
Unlike other social networks, where some CEO can make up random rules as they see fit and enforce them arbitrarily, the fediverse allows for much more granular control.
That said, it's an experiment that is being played out right now, across society. Your aunt can join, or watch what happens, as can anyone else.
There's still plenty of rough edges, so the user experience is going to vary, some good, some less so.
Participate, or not, it's entirely up to you.
