Are there any rules on Lemmy.World about communities where the only poster is someone spam posting inflammatory links? It’s easy enough to block those communities, but I imagine this is going to be off-putting for some new users not acclimated to the federated style of Lemmy.
Also if rules are being broken by community moderators then the only people that can moderate a moderator is an admin and I’m not sure there are enough to find all of this.
I feel like it’s just coming down to a lack of actual moderators.
Lemmy has been thrown into the spotlight overnight, droves are coming here, and they place wasn’t ready for it.
This is going to be an absolute mess for a while. It will calm down eventually but for right now, everything is kind of chaotic.
Can communities themselves be banned by admins similar to how reddit admins will ban one if it’s not properly moderated?
The same can happen with reddit it’s just that because the subreddits are now so large, most people don’t see it anymore. On the smaller subs you still do
The admin of the instance running the community could close it but if it is on another instance, the best they can do is de-federate the whole other instance completely.
