Moderating is time consuming, tedious and done by volunteers. I'm not surprised that they get overrun after the latest influx of users.
Which is why the very first question an instance admin or moderator needs to think about and answer for all to hear is "how will you handle Nazis?"
It's why my primary instance of beehaw elected to just defederate and sort things out later instead of desperately trying to navigate a flood of scumbags. The key will be implementing better tools and getting more people on board for community curation
