There's a lot of vagueness there. I'd be interested in hearing more details about what they want from mod tools.

From what I understand, beehaw was overwhelmed with rule-breaking content coming from lemmy.world and sh.it to the point that the 4 admin team and the mods couldn't keep up, so they cut the problem at the source and defederated from those two.

The issue came from Reddit trolls taking advantage of lemmy.world and sh.it having open registration, so even if one account was banned, the trolls would just make another one and keep posting hateful content on Beehaw.

Man, if an instance had enough clout, like Mozilla, I'd absolutely pay $5 for an account, Something Awful style.
