A normal user would be quite shocked at the absolute lack of admin/moderation tools in the Mastodon software.

It's wild, it's basically "if you don't see it, it doesn't exist". As someone who's constantly worried about liability, this just does not work for a single user instance. I have nightmares about how bad it might be for a much bigger instance.๐Ÿ˜ณ

I hear Akkoma has decent tools, anyone can concur?

@[email protected] what exactly is your problem/concern?

@[email protected] illegal stuff being on my server that I don't know about.

@[email protected] so in germany it is the case that you get a request for deletion beforehand, then you delete it and everything is fine.
As far as I know, you only have to take care of things you know about, if something is lying around somewhere in the db, it's nothing you can know about.

Why would a normal user would be even concerned about administration tooling?
