Moderation is important in today's world, compare the massive work twitter, instagram et al have had to do as a result of the Christchurch massacre.

How does this scenario work with pixelfed? I take it that the content is hosted on a specific server and that the pixelfed app is just a frontend that knows how to find that server. Is abuse reporting built in to the app somehow? How does the end user know that action is being taken? How can law enforcement close down pages?

Note that legal liability for hosting illegal content may be huge. There is one 18-year old in NZ who is being charged and threatened with 14 years jailtime for sharing the terrorist video from the mosque massacre. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&object...

The content is stored on servers run independently from each other and they usually operate with slightly (and sometimes wildly) different rules.

Users can report posts which then has to be looked at by the mods on that specific instance/server. Since most servers have a modest amount of users, and a relatively high moderator to user ratio, moderation becomes quite manageable.

OT: Does anyone in NZ reading this agree with that standpoint?
