@Gargron How many mods are there here?

@PennyOaken @kaukamieli @rmbles @Gargron the analogy I use when explaining the security implications of publicly detailing your moderation team / resources is this: @kaukamieli @rmbles @Gargron if you’re shopping for instances, you’re going to get more mileage out of “does this instance have a public moderation policy, and does it incorporate a way to handle ban appeals, mistakes (by users and moderators), and improvement?”. Unless an instance is run by a dedicated social media corporation, “fast” moderation is the trade off from “Fast, Good, Cheap” and “more moderators” only makes diminishing returns on “fast”, sometimes at the expense of “good” |
@rmbles @Gargron while it’s normal to want transparency regarding moderation policy, “how many” is a detail that would allow monkeywrenchers to plan abuse of the report system and harassment or moderators.
We should expect policy transparency and for admins to acknowledge mistakes, but details won’t help us know if the right thing is being done.
(Exception: the answer “not enough moderators” is almost always true)
