Thanks! We appreciate all feedback. Given everything happening in the U.S., it's more important than ever to strengthen the fediverse. That's why we started this instance.
We definitely need more admins and moderators, but for now, things are still in the early stages and quite manageable.
That’s our long-term vision! But as you mentioned, we’ll need native-speaking moderators to make that possible.
