   A big disadvantage about mastodon.social: it's very possible that it might be de-federated if moderation starts failing.

   With 178K active users and 1 moderator, I simply don't see how mastodon.social is sustainable in its current shape.

   By the way, I say this as someone who's been on mastodon.social since 2018!

     @atomicpoet Up until the current growth of the active userbase by 370% it was very much sustainable. I don't know why people seem to think that every active (or mind you, inactive, as some people think total user number somehow correlates to this) user breaks the rules on a daily basis. The 5-10 reports per day were very much handleable by even a single moderator. But now I am literally in the process of onboarding more moderators.

     @Gargron @atomicpoet please do so, thank you. Also if possible do communicate with admins of some major instances that have some grievances with the moderation, a lot of them are considering silencing the instance or straight up blocking it.

     @Gargron Thanks for the update. I bring this up because I think those active accounts are will only go up. In 3 months, you might have 1 million users!

     And let's be honest: if you're working 14 hour days, then your breaking point is coming soon.
