> I mean I could just as easily say you as an user should be mentally prepared.

Users tend to be less aware of these things than the operators of such servers (or at least, that's how it should be).

> Matrix is developing a privacy IM, you do not really moderate that now, do you?

No, but you can create mechanisms for the users to flag problematic accounts.

The filth will follow the users. That's the whole game plan here: to cause grief.



I have been in many rooms that are completely fine; technical rooms.

As for flagging problematic accounts: how would that work in a decentralized E2EE system, and do you think it cannot be abused? What would you want them to do if I flag your account a million times? Keep in mind they probably may not be able to keep up with it, nor do I expect them to. Additionally, you still should be able to use the service due to its decentralized, privacy-preserving nature, so the worst thing that may happen is getting banned from a Matrix instance, or a room.
