Other communities have figured out how to pay for collective goods.
Right now, safety on Mastodon is incredibly inefficient, because it's not shared. It's like the opposite of caching. We moderate the same antisocial people over and over again.
I won't rehash all my thoughts on this, but I believe it involves subscriptions, and distributing payment for labor both for infra developers and for moderators, and more smaller instances vs a few big.
