I'm currently on mastodon.social for my instance, and I was informed the other day that because of poor moderation it's been permanently defedereated by enough instances to make it an issue for users there to have reach outside of their home instance. Is this true? Should I move to a different mastodon instance? Thank you!

I can help fill in some of the gaps. Mastodon.social is the flagship instance so you get a bunch of people signing up for it, and at times I think some of the reports overwhelm the moderation team. A few weeks ago there was a big issue with spam bots getting through. Some instance owners have a short fuse for this kind of stuff so they opted to defed from it.

Personally, I’m running a small instance so I did not block it. I follow a lot of accounts from there. The spam bots were annoying though.

Okay, that clicks with other things I’ve heard recently. Thank you.
