I was surprised about this ratio (and the fact that it seems to work for them), too. I could imagine that a large percentage of lurkers and a maybe more reasonable community than other platforms could be helping factors?
My mastodon account is on a kind of small instance, and I’d love to be able to report posts directly to the originating instance, without also reporting it to “my” admin. I just don’t wasn’t then to waste their time locally blocking a clear spam account, that should (and usually will be) removed by the originating instance in a couple hours.








I use it for biking/walking in my home city and really like it for that purpose.
I’m not using it when I have to take public transport (it usually gets the correct route, but doesn’t include departure times) or if I’m looking up locations in other random parts of the world, as I’d have to download that area first.
