@hrefna @tchambers @thisismissem @fediplomacy Another important reason there can't be an apples to apples comparison is that moderators at Facebook have almost zero discretion, they are required to comply with the letter of hundreds of pages of instructions, and their quota limits the time they can spend on a single moderation request to less than a minute.

This makes Fedi moderation more labor intensive and higher quality, but makes raw numbers comparison meaningless.

Compare the outcomes.

@box464 Fact. I, for one, gave up on my hope of making even a minimum wage level of money from running and moderating a Mastodon instance.

Allowing your social experience to be ruled by the privileged few who can afford to work non-billable hours isn't much of an improvement over it being ruled by a handful of billionaires.
