MODERATORS
Yes, and stay on Lemmy, the totally unmoderated version of those filled with Russian and CCP propaganda.
It's not unmoderated lmao
If you're going to compare it to corporations like Meta who spend billions per year on platform moderation then yes, it's absolutely unmoderated. Even compared to the shitty volunteer moderation of Reddit, which at least has mod tools. If Lemmy was big enough to be noticed by the media it'd be right up there on that list of misinformation spreaders, because that's just what social media is.
I like Lemmy better than those platforms, I'm here after all, but saying get off those other platforms from a platform that has the same problems is the pot calling the kettle black
I think it’s also worth bearing in mind there that the average fedi user currently is well aware of the lack of platform level moderation, both the good and the bad that come with that.
