All scaled Internet sites, no matter the country, shows that there needs to be control of some sort. The problem is that there isn’t a way to create a distributed way of control/ownership.
But there is. Between the two options, moderation or community controls, I’ll pick community controls.
But this is kind of my point. Lemmy should not be recreating what we already know end up as a tool that is used by authoritarians to control us. Lemmy should be generating more new ideas and testing them out. New instances with new features. Some will work some won’t. It’s why I get a little pissed off seeing people who claim to be leftist, claim they’ll punch a nazi, claim that Trump and Bezos and capitalism is responsible for great suffering who them go on to just use lemmy for posting feel good fun time cat pictures and moth memes. We should be doing more. Because at some point we’ll need tools and by the time we need them we’re not going to have time to fiddle fuck trying to get them to work. We needed tools 15 years ago.

The devs have flat out stated they aren’t going to develop those tools. I don’t know if they would integrate those tools if developed by others.
