I think Lemmy should be huge. Think about how many subreddits exist for every niche. It would be great if those places could exist free of corporate influence.

Federated platforms are significantly more effective than centralized ones at mitigating the influence of bad actors.

Lemmy's design is fundamentally unable to deal with bad actors. The only reason it's tolerable now is that it's too small to be worth their time. It would completely go to shit if it ever got huge.

Is that the case? Isn't the federated structure good to leave an instance once it got bad? And bans and stuff exist just like everywhere else

Lemmy's design is fundamentally excellent to deal with bad actors, the whole point of ActivityPub/Federation is that moderation is much more effective while also preserving free speech. I'm not sure what that person on about.
