Comment on Social networks are getting stingy with their data, leaving third-party developers in the lurch
Nighed@sffa.community 10 months agoBut they do go to the community mods, even on a different instance? And if the community mods remove the content that removal federates?
I prefer to rely on the community mods to remove most ‘spam’ as it’s their role to decide what is spam in their community. (Obviously admins can/should remove illegal content etc)
Admins for the most part shouldn’t have to remove content on their copy of other instances communities.

It goes to the community mods too yeah. But when it comes to spam/scams that is being posted, admins (at least on programming.dev) will remove it immediately and not wait for community moderators. Spammers will usually spam multiple communities at once and only admins have the capability of banning users entirely from the site/their instance.
A few days ago a person created multiple accounts and spammed scat content across multiple communities. Moderators can’t effectively stop those kind of things.
