>The "main" mastodon.social instance

mastodon.social isn't even the largest mastodon instance[0]. Even aside from that The majority of active accounts are hosted on small or personal instances, especially for English speaking accounts.

>extreme in their views on moderation

IIRC instance admins had an issue with the purism instance not actively going against hate-speech. I'd hardly call that extremist.

It isn't extreme, statistically speaking, but at least it isn't what I would want in a social network. If I wanted a heavily censored network I would just use Twitter.
