This is a big problem for Mastodon.
Canadian journalist Erica Ifill just had her mastodon.online account suspended without explanation. She's been sharing stuff critical of Mastodon re: intersectional issues.
I get the decentralized structure and idea that each server has its own rules. But this Reddit-style moderation, where moderators with god-complexes make mysterious and arbitrary decisions, is going to cause people migrating to Mastodon to flee in droves.

On the one hand, I don't know if that's actually considered a good instance or not.
On the other hand, we really need to call out instances that do this crap.
Has anyone got a list of servers rated according to their moderation history? I might have to look into this.
