Mastodon has one really bad feature that enhances rage, like usually only non-Fediverse social media plattforms do.
If someone deletes their post someone else replied to, that reply suddenly is no longer a reply, but a standalone post and therefore more visible (e.g. in timelines that hide replies and on that person's profile).
Why is this a problem? Because chances are high that the reason why you delete your post is because you don't like the reply. And now the reply is on full display so more people can not-like it.

It's times like the last 2 - 3 days with the large amount of spam that we've gotten that #AllThingsTech is certainly in need of someone who is active and a moderator.
Someone who can help handle all of the reports from those spam attacks.
Also worth mentioning, it would be nice to have a moderator who is going to actively speak about the instance and help it grow in various ways.

@supernovae following up: here's the moderation stuff i was working on. shelving it to get back to Feditext. might be useful to others.
• https://github.com/VyrCossont/m1000 implements a webhook listener automod bot in Rust which automatically creates reports when posts or users match on configurable words, regexes, or link domains. should be able to handle another #thegx situation, or a small link-spam campaign. proof of concept, not quite prod-ready, but i'm already running it on my home instance.
• https://github.com/VyrCossont/mastodon/commit/df8be12f1190769aa530590163f9cbf56294dd52 removes the `if local?` check from Mastodon's `status.*` and `account.*` webhooks, allowing `m1000` to moderate remote posts and users.
• https://github.com/VyrCossont/mastodon/commit/528afe989e1aa1e1a1069e2f420c498e78fc9f08 adds a `report.updated` webhook to Mastodon, useful for integration with external ticketing systems.
• https://github.com/VyrCossont/mastodon/commit/0a869f0d31e6ecbf57d25451ab60b52bf35730d8 creates an API for Mastodon's audit log, which currently doesn't have one. this would be useful for admin apps.
