It’s becoming clear that Lemmy is not in any way the safe haven it has been marketed as. And this NFT rigamarole certainly isn’t going to be that either.
Anything that doesn’t put the ENTIRE content discovery engine fully in the hands of the users and that doesn’t make content moderation a crowdsourced-only transparent, auditable endeavor is going to reproduce l’ancien régime.
Fuck no, do you know how shit Lemmy could be if some hexbear tankies could come into your community and brigade it until they’ve banned half the users?
Or the flipside, it’s a democratic process that involves weeks of voting and you’ve got CP plastered all over the front page while you wait to reach enough votes to trigger its removal.

Marketed? Lemmy is not a company and there is no marketing department. Generally, what you know about Lemmy is word of mouth from people who used it before you. Not the result of a marketing planning meeting.
Instances are moderated by their moderators. Other instances that would rather not associate with a different instance can withdraw federation. I think the system works fine.
