Defederation drama hits the #threadiverse, but with the twist of community/group dynamics being a major factor: see discussion with important links here: https://lemmy.ml/post/1281130
Here defederation is concerned with open signups (lemmy.world) and beehaw’s ability to moderate effectively, where they’re finding lemmy’s tools lacking, on which see this thread on an upcoming review: https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/110550824230711531 (@thisismissem@hechyderm.io).
TLDR: lemmy/kbin aren’t ready yet, need 6mnths-2yrs to mature

in reply to Jo (she/they) • • •To be clear, it seems that lemmy provides moderation powers to instance admins and all community moderators (the distribution amongst mods of communities being something the review maybe discounted too much IMO) which seem to be sufficient.
It’s the UI (and surfacing) that seems to be behind mastodon and which struggles with scale. Hopefully UI improvements aren’t too hard though.
It’s also striking that platform generic tools don’t exist for moderation!!

in reply to maegul • • •I also wonder if and how platform differences alter moderation requirements.
Threaded platforms like lemmy have fully visible threads, downvotes, search and mods for each community that have full moderation power.
A would wonder if this provides a better foundation to weed out bad actors??
Another thing to remember is lemmy membership isn’t open (on lemmy.ml and beehaw.org), you have to “apply” and be approved. It’s open signups on lemmy.world though.
