Are lemmy’s moderation tools ready for scaling up? An upcoming review says no. (lemmy.ml)

See thread from the reviewer here: https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/110550824230711531

They’ve apparently only shared it on some matrix room so far but will publish it.

You can read the comments in the thread for slightly more detail, but the essence of it is that lemmy (and especially kbin?) and too immature in terms of moderation tooling and shouldn’t really be opening themselves up to the public as anything more than an alpha test.

Some sort of response or discussion here makes sense, especially in light of Beehaw.org’s recent defederation from lemmy.world, because of, it seems, lemmy.world’s open signup policy and what beehaw find to be insufficient moderation tooling (see discussion here: https://lemmy.world/post/170911 or same but on lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/1281130 )

Yea. There might be a little hypocrisy here in failing to compare lemmy to where mastodon was at times of large growth. Slightly more subtle language with some suggestions and insights as to where things might go would probably have been more helpful.

That being said, it is super awesome that thisismissem, a mastodon dev primarily, is reaching out across platforms and advocating for platform-generic tooling for important tasks. They didn’t need to do this, but it surely moves the needle forward, and cross-platform collaboration or discussion is certainly a good thing.
