I might offend some folks with this poll… but I think it's kind of the elephant in the room, my friends.
Q: Is the biggest problem with #Mastodon in general actually the moderation of its biggest instance: mastodon.social?
This is not directed at anyone personally, rather, it's directed at a toxic culture that I see innocent people/victims posting about over and over again.
(mastodon.social is 300K MAU, next one is 12K)

11 minutes. The post I was going to report was only 11 minutes old and the account has already been deleted. Good job mods at mastodon.social!

I wouldn't be asking the question if I didn't believe the question needed to be answered, so I believe an answer of 'yes’ is justified.
I see so many people saying that they leave because they get harassed off of the platform... by reply guys... or sexual harassers... or people who just believe Mastodon can only have a certain kind of content, or person… regardless of its mission as part of an open/free alternative to corporate social media.
A lot of it just seems like bad behaviour by what might be a small number of those 300,000 monthly users (let alone the 3 million accounts in total on that server).
I don't know if "more moderation" is the answer, but that's kind of the only lens I am seeing right now.
