A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The reasons I've seen given is that it's a huge instance and at one point only had 1 moderator. So when instance admins complained about a user there, they didn't always get a response. I think they've got more moderators there now, but not sure if it's solved the problem.
Some Mastodon admins are very concerned about protecting their users from abuse, and want to limit it as much as possible. And that might be 100% appropriate for their users... people who don't like it should move to a different instance.
Ah, that would make sense. I could definitely see that being annoying, especially considering the sheer number of users on that instance.
