  Forums have existed on the internet forever and and have already dealt with this thousands of times previously

  The main difference is that forums aren’t federated. On Lemmy you not only need to keep in check internal users, but also external instances, and as everyone can host one, federation ads extra complexity

  if an admin of an instance marks a post as potentially illegal, it gets replicated to other instances automatically and gets in queu for deletion.

  This opens at some terrible abuse, just open a malevolent instant and start flagging all the content you don’t like as illegal

  At the same time I hate to see the promised federated network revert to what commercial platforms have become, karma and account age requirement, phone and identity verification , forced 2fa and what not.

  While I share this very same feeling, I also recognize there are reasons why commercial platforms have done what they’ve done, I don’t think they’re inherently evil, they just had to face the very same problems we have

  Because it’s bad only if someone I don’t like does it

  I’m sorry but I find this deeply comic and I can’t stop giggle

  At the same time, clickbait has always existed. There’s a reason trash emerged from tv to become his own subgenre
