fedi meta
sad truth: as long as instances like .art keep moderating as they do ("proactively", guilt-by-association, etc.), Mastodon and the fediverse as a whole will stagnate.
I get that people want to keep it "manageable", but you also want more people to adopt the concept and ideology so we are not dependent on centralized services.
but new users will leave right away if they have to deal with federation issues if they can't interact with friends.

@pixel The idea that they are moderating proactively is nonsense.. They are moderating to the whims of their users, which attracts more users with whims. Its a cycle that ultimately results in servers like art, that has moderated to the point of abuse just to appease their users rather than based on anything that actually needs moderating.
