The size of a community is really a big issue with a lot of moderation, especially with federation.
A lot of the popular instances on here aren't actually that big, you'll often find that their active users don't reach much higher than 150. Once they do, registrations are usually closed, so moderators can focus on providing a good service for their existing community and ensuring bad actors are dealt with ASAP.
This same service just cannot work as effectively with larger instances. It's why so many people have defederated from mastodon.social, why mastodon.online was completely unable to deal with its recent massive influx.
Kolektiva now has over 2,000 active users, with registrations still open, and its small mod team has proven incapable of dealing with its explosive growth. When you only have a handful of people modding at any one time, bad actors just aren't going to get dealt with at the rate they need to be to ensure a healthy community.
(This is not to say small instances are inherently good, there's a bunch of small instances that are utterly horrendous parts of the network, just that smaller instances are more manageable)
if you've spent any length of time on the fediverse and value anti-racism, community building, decoloniality, challenging oppressive cultural norms, and generally making spaces safe for vulnerable folks, then you've benefited from the work that @CaribenxMarciaX has done here
if you can afford a few quid each month, i highly recommend subscribing to show your appreciation and help them continue their work (and you get top content and updates straight into your mailbox!): https://www.artistmarciax.com/subscriptions
I want to make sure this is clear to all. ubuntu.buzz is open to having people join our instance. The creator and admin of our instance is me, Ikora. I'm a black femme, but you don't have to be to join us. We are creating a community space based on restorative justice principles. So, yes, everyone is welcome! But, it's in context, right? Unearned advantages will be addressed and acknowledged. We won't be gaslighting each other. Listen to experience, etc. Join me if you want to help. <3
