Which servers need moderators? #askfedi #moderation #fedimods #mastomods I want to know where people can volunteer their time to help reduce the burden.

Dear open registration servers, each day so far this week, I've opened my Mastodon client, only to see slurs, swastikas, and death threat videos of "me" being hanged.
This is the Nazi bar problem. They're standing on the curb and your doors are wide open. Sure, you're kicking them out after they walk in and punch a few customers, but is that really how you want your bar to be known? As the place that apologizes *after* the Nazi assaults you?
With the current US election results rolling in, it looks like we're in for another predictable wave of butthurt GravySeals aching to own the libs in a sad attempt to bring meaning to their poor little wannabe white power lives.
It's time to close registrations and step up moderation to protect the communities you helped grow.
Racism is chasing Black folx off Fedi.
Queerphobia is chasing LGBTQ+ folx off Fedi.
Sexism is chasing women off Fedi.
Do you want another incel white boys club like Twitter? Because inaction is how you get there.
#FediAdmin, #FediMods, don't be a #NaziBar.
