Hello!

I’m part of the great reddit migration and I’m still trying to figure things out.

Something I’ve not seen much discussion about is how does moderation work in the fediverse?

Is it up to instance owners, or do communities have a moderation team like reddit?

How does that work across instances?

    My understanding is that if you use a slur, its first up to the moderators of this community or admins of this instance to moderate it.

    If they’d like to but are overwhelmed, they can invite moderators and admins from other instances to have moderator privileges.

    But if this instance fails to act, other instances can essentially block this community.
