Who moderates the social web?
In the second post of our 2025 report series, we look at the people behind the work, their roles, experience, and how many are burning out.
Now with three years of data, we’re also looking at trends.

Because so many people here don't understand what #censorship and #FreeSpeech really are:
Free speech is a right granted by a state. Censorship is if the state takes that right. There are limits to free speech like no hate speech and no jelling fire in a crowded room where there is no fire.
Technically this only concerns the state.
I'd argue that big monopolies, oligopolies and walled gardens can also be accused of censorship. However if they censor nazis even if no law demands them to, then in that case censorship is a good thing. But we all know its usually the opposite.
In the Fediverse there can't be censorship. You have the right to be on the Fediverse. You have the right to choose a server that moderates in a way you agree with. You have the right to change your mind and switch servers.
You do not have the right to be on a specific server. On the contrary. A server provider has the right to decline your application or to delete your account if you don't follow the server's rules.
If you mistake strict moderation that protects marginalized people on a small federated instance maintained and moderated by a small team of people trying to survive capitalism and maintain the instance with no compensation in their spare time for censorship, then you are wrong on climatejustice.social and you are free to leave.

What if we wrote instance rules like "We strongly encourage you not to make reply guy-ish replies on the Fediverse. If you choose to do so anyway, do not report any of the responses you receive"?
