for me the biggest issue with mastodon is that it is not compliant with UE LAW for example nudity or porn is available without login just using public feed or federated feed. On mastodon.social you can see literally hardcore stuff. But also Mastodon GMBH is misleading users how the priacy looks in mastodon or what are the posts visibility options working... also the funny thing is that there is thousands of so called privacy advocates threre advertising advantages of using big tech alternatives for example pixelfed... and if you ask who is storing yours data (i've asked directly owner dansup) you will get no answers. There is also nothing in privacy policy. That is not compliant with EU law... or privacy advocates storytelling...
That’s going to be true of any distributed/self hosted network.
So, the problem is... just to make it clear... admins could have tools to monitor things, stop spam, and keep things in line, right? BUT they don't get these tools because the devs have this ideological stance. They're all about creating ethical social networks and want to shield users (especially minorities) from the toxic stuff you often find on social media. LOL --> That's why we see big instances shutting down every month due to flame wars... It's all part of how Gargron set it up
not mention child porn... but i assume this is not stuff from porn underground but just from secret police to have something for U... its easy to get in trouble just by being admin of mastodon instance. Gargron doesnt give A FUCK about it
Gargron has nothing to do with who gets in trouble for what. This whole thing is sus tbh. Are you a journalist or something? You come off like a journo.
