"In 2024, it cost $N to run a Mastodon instance with ~1000 active users for a year. By the end of 2025, that figure had dropped to $0.5N, due to the launch of X, Y, Z."
What are X, Y, and Z?
In terms of cost, consider systems administration and moderation as paid work, even if the admin is not paying themselves for either of these things.
@mekkaokereke I wonder if shared moderation team could help. Like a moderation panel that could handle report for multiple instances and a few small instances that help moderate each other instance using such a tool. This way, a dozen instance have one mod available 2h a day, instead of being unmoderated 22h a day, could be moderated all around the clock.
In the past, spam filter have been used to classify text content. Maybe it could be done for triage in moderation.
