Quick message to all fediverse newcomers:
Moderation in the fediverse is done by humans. There are no bots that shadowban you based on detecting certain keywords. This has some important consequences:
1) If you see a rule-breaking post, click the "report" button and write a report. The actual living, breathing creatures who run your instance will review the report.
The location of the report button varies depending on your client/app software: it's usually near "reply" or "boost."
2) The text you write in a report matters, because it will be read by an actual person. The mods are not just counting the number of reports.
3) If you're talking about a sensitive topic like suicide, you should not bleep it out like "sui-de". You won't be banned for typing the actual word out. You should instead use a content warning for your post to warn your readers. Some users who don't wish to see certain topics can voluntarily apply word filters to their own timelines, and bleeping words is rude because it bypasses their filters.

#FediTips@2something@transfem.social I can verify this, but if I may add: some moderation teams do have tooling to flag content, but such reports are only visible to internal moderation channels to be reviewed by actual people running these tools - and not automatically handled by the moderation tools themselves.

#FediTips@2something 4) Actually, never bleep out words. People have filters to hide content that triggers them, don't fight against it

#FediTips@2something also: one of the strengths of the Fediverse is its variety. If you are unsatisfied with the moderation of the instance you're on (slow to react, mutes/blocks accounts you want to follow, does not mute/blocks accounts you deem dangerous or spammy, etc), consider moving to a different instance with a moderation that better fits your preferences & needs.
