@taylorlorenz Local moderation is engaged moderation. On Twitter (even pre-Musk) and other centralised platforms, moderation is impossible (or at least not cost-effective) to scale, so you get arbitrary decisions and systems that are very easy to abuse.
I got suspended from Twitter more than once for "hate speech" when in fact I was objecting to hate speech, while none of my reports for hate speech ever went anywhere. Here, not only can I much more easily find an instance with moderators I trust, but if they lost my trust I would simply move to a different instance.
