@doriane @liaizon I'd suggest re-reading switter.at's website since it clearly states what happened.

Yes, as an early moderator on switter.at, the Fediverse did not have appropriate tools to allow our community to co-exist. We got a lot of reports that were enabled by unsafe design and user behaviours.

That's how mastodon gained a lot of the tools in the moderator UI — we (primarily me) added them to be able to effectively moderate.
