MODERATORS
only time and reddit can do that.
Banned my 8 year old account for spam. God damn the account was not even active for 4 months why did you ban it reddit? And no replies from mods either. I liked reddit but lemmy is nice too and niche!

I fear that Lemmy will not scale properly, popularity will exponentially increase the load. Itβs basically actions multiplied by instances
The nature of the fediverse means bad actors could run rampant, jumping instances and usernames to turn the place into a shitshow.
The only reason it isnt happening already is that we arent worth the trouble.
The only way to avoid it once a certain size is reached is a paid moderation team with a mission statement to stamp that shit out, which means a budget is needed which means backers/investors/advertising... and tou get where this is going.
