Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying no moderation - not at all.
I AM saying that I'm rather tired of people wanting to be protected, but being unwilling to do any of the work themselves, instead raising a stink and smearing a person/server until a majority have a block up.
Now, things like child exploitation, racism, etc, should absolutely be dealt with at the server level, but, "I don't like this person's opinions! They're a NAZI! BLOCK THEIR SERVER" shouldn't. Individual disagreements should be dealt with on an individual level - not exploded into server- and network- wide blocks.
Personally, I'm centrist. The right has some things correct, and so does the left, and a balance should be reached... but most people on the left (mostly far left, from my experience) seem to think that everyone even slightly to the right of their stance is a nazi.. which applies to me vs a sizable population of Mastodon, and is hilarious considering the fact that I'm Jewish (and I've been banned for 'being a Nazi'... figure that one out!)
No, moderation is necessary when something actually criminal is occurring... but personal beefs should stay personal.
