If and when the mastodon surge happens, I think admins need to do more to set expectations on how blocking works. Reminding users that they can personally block instances and users. Help to ensure that user problems do not become βinstance vs instanceβ. Admins have a responsibility to their users and the wider community, and should try to avoid instance blocks for dispute resolution unless it involves Prohibited Content. Learn from failed instances.
Right now the majority of moderation issues we deal with are instance level blocks - every few weeks we have to purge some that host Prohibited Content. Great job everyone!
All- Y.L public registration will remain closed as I am not looking to significantly increase overhead and moderation requirements. You may still generate your own invite codes for friends.
I do not mind if you invite friends, but I am not looking to grow Y.L - infinite growth comes with infinite problems and I think weβve got it pretty cozy here. I would prefer to keep running it at its current maintenance level.
