Comment on Hypothesis: Insufficient moderation tools lead to instance protectionism, which leads to a decline in the overall discussion quality on Lemmy

What I think could help against instance protectionism: A.) Better moderation tools to protect against SPAM and trash B.) Better curation algorithm, especially for smaller instances, to smartly curate posts that are relevant to the user C.) Better default-values for the selected feed (All instead of local), as well as for the discovery of communities (which is also currently local by default)

If B is not realized, smaller instances will have no handle against big instances flooding their user’s feeds with their posts and they will switch back to local-default again.

Overall, it can be brought down to making the All-feed more attractive. In my opinion, there should only be the subscribed-feed and an all-feed with curated posts (with different sorting algorithms to chose from in the best case).
