   I have identified a #Mastodon problem.

   I see a lot of fake accounts, and when I report them, the Mastodon moderators do an excellent job of shutting them down.

   But when shut down, the accounts become invisible. This removes disinformation, which is good, but at the same time it prevents the public from seeing the grounds for removal.

   This lack of insight into Mastodon’s moderation decisions, will with certainty give rise to all kinds of speculation and condemnation.

   This should be corrected.

     @randahl 👍 Feedback on your report would also be great.

     Additionally, they should add the option to report servers¹ & botnets¹, as that seems to not be working properly.

     @madeindex @randahl There would need to be some reason-coding on account takedowns as well. For example, things hate speech, harassment, doxxing, and CSAM will still need to come down. On the plus side, foreign influence campaigns are less likely to gain viral popularity is left up, due to the absence of an algorithm.
