# Moderation

One of the most acute problems with centralized platforms is the need to develop one-size-fits-all moderation policies for billions of users. Decentralizing moderation puts decisions about what content to block or allow in the hands of users and communities.

## Community moderation

### Matrix

Servers in Matrix have terms of use that users agree to when they join. Rooms may have moderators who can remove people from individual rooms.

### Mastodon

Each server admin can create their own moderation rules as well as a theme for their server. Their TOS may include rules about whether data can leave the server, etc.

### Reddit

### Aether

Users elect and impeach topic moderators.

## User moderation

User level moderation allows users to opt into different content preferences, for example subscribing to shared blocklists, or enabling certain filters.

# Mastodon

Users choose which server to join, opting into the moderation policy, theme, and TOS they prefer.
