Kinda fucked up that this person moderated hate posts only to find the child predators posting images of their kids on a different forum.
Don’t know about you, but whenever I see hate groups specifically targeting children, I think the intention is very clear. Not just spreading hate, but also wanting to act on one of the socially forbidden sex acts as well.
I saw this on Mastodon and saved it for later, thank you for posting it here so I didn’t forget it
This is was a really lovely read.
People ask me what it’s like to be a moderator
Really? I’m interested but I don’t think I would ask a mod “hey what is it like?”
On the other hand I would, as it is really interesting to me the kind of day-to-day behind the scenes of a community place like this.
As would evidently, or perhaps has, Cris_Color@lemmy.world, so I don’t think it’s an unreasonable article hook/assumption to make.
Maybe when their mom goes downstairs brings them tendies?

3 mods for 12k active users? This is not nearly enough imho

Yea wtf? That seems insanely low. There’s no way they can keep up with all content right? At least they can only be reactionary right, like when reports are made?

I was surprised about this ratio (and the fact that it seems to work for them), too. I could imagine that a large percentage of lurkers and a maybe more reasonable community than other platforms could be helping factors?
My mastodon account is on a kind of small instance, and I’d love to be able to report posts directly to the originating instance, without also reporting it to “my” admin. I just don’t wasn’t then to waste their time locally blocking a clear spam account, that should (and usually will be) removed by the originating instance in a couple hours.

I am afraid, that removal of spam account does not necessarily federate to another instance. On Mastodon activities federate mainly to instances an account, which made/edited/deleted the post, is followed from. (Or an instance can subscribe to relay, which exchanges all activities between all participating instances).
Report always landing to your admin may be something good in light of this...
