I came from a place where the local non-reddit non-English forum has so few mods and necessary resources to effectively moderate. Trolls are everywhere which is so detrimental to quality discussion.

Question: do we have mods and the necessary tools and resources in Lemmy to counter them?

    For the most part I personally have not witnessed any bad behavior or trolls. Lemmy has been a breath of fresh air, and people seem genuinely happy to be here. I hope it stays that way.

    BUT…

    Have a look at the mod log on any instance. It’s a public log of moderator actions and gets federated along with everything else.

    Definitely some people getting banned for the usual reasons. People will be people. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I haven’t seen any obvious bots in the wild here (yet), but they’ll come soon enough. There are at least a couple Github repos out there (i.e. this one) with bot libraries so I’d expect some of the old reddit bots could make some sort of a comeback pretty soon.
