Every instance will have its own approach to moderation. Almost by definition, since disagreement with an instance’s policies is a good reason to spin up your own one. .world was my home instance for a while, I would not say they have more issues than other instances. I left them because their policies on piracy related stuff. I understand their reasons, so it’s my issue, not theirs. Anyway, yes CSAM (and spamming?) should be a prompt fediverse wide ban and delete, as long as we can trust the decision makers

Interesting idea. Not an instance owner, and not familiar with the finer details of federation, so no idea if it could be done. My initial concerns is that a majority vote won’t work, if you have to wait for the majority of instance mods to vote it’s going to be too slow. Maybe some degree of instance level config helps. For example, if i had my own instance, i would follow ban/delete recommendations from the likes of .world, .dbzer0, but maybe not from .ml without a human reviewing it first. Also need to ensure the ‘court’ does not get flooded.
