From my reading about social media platforms growing exponentially, there comes a point where growing a #moderation team is essential. This problem is less common with the #Fediverse with self-hosted small instances. But what about the larger instances? Have any #devs thought about implementing features such as is available in #Discourse. A #trust based moderation system as a community grows? Is that even a feasible thing to do?

Any of you good people on software dev Mastodon have a good solution to this problem?

For legal reasons, we need to store datetime values in a Postgres DB that will adapt to future political changes in TZ/DST rules. The dates are often several decades into the future. So a TZ for a given day at a given hour must be correct when it arrives. UTC cannot store this info, and UTC is what Postgres stores it seems.
