Why is lack of moderation a problem on Mastodon?

Twitter pushes content from random users you don't follow, that creates a responsibility to moderate (plus they need to keep the advertisers happy).

The Mastodon timeline is direct follows. If I see some stuff I don't like, I can talk with that person or simply unfollow them.
