Protection of our users, especially those marginalized and dealing with systemic oppression, has priority over federation reach or the preservation of existing followers/followees network. As a result, these are the guiding principles for all moderation work at eldritch.cafe:

• Power dynamics within the team that echo systems of oppression should be prevented; and if this fails, they must be addressed and corrected immediately.
• Moderation should be as transparent as possible.
• Moderation should be as proactive as possible to avoid putting the burden of moderation on users and therefore unnecessarily exposing them to harmful content.
