MODERATORS
 

Are there any rules on Lemmy.World about communities where the only poster is someone spam posting inflammatory links? It's easy enough to block those communities, but I imagine this is going to be off-putting for some new users not acclimated to the federated style of Lemmy.

Also if rules are being broken by community moderators then the only people that can moderate a moderator is an admin and I'm not sure there are enough to find all of this.

Define "intentionally inflammatory." Reddit was always very left-leaning politically, so I assume the userbase here is similar. I suspect conservative memes/links/etc. would be considered intentionally inflammatory here in a way that leftist memes/links/etc. would not. It's not really possible to define a one-size-fits-all definition: One person's inflammatory is another person's ideal content.

Additionally, define "spamming links." The biggest problem with Lemmy so far is lack of content. If I go to the baseball subreddit, for instance, I see a bunch of highlights from the games that took place last night, a bunch of discussions on World Series odds, a bunch of questions about stats, etc. Over here, none of that exists yet. A few people have tried to build individual communities by posting similar content over here. It probably looks like spamming a bunch of links to MLB's website for highlight videos. However, without someone spamming those links, the community is basically dead with nothing to comment on. We probably need a little spamming at the outset to grow the community to be large enough to sustain itself organically.

Iโ€™ve seen some really nasty bigoted anti-jewish, anti-trans and anti-LGBT shit on exploding-heads which makes me question why we federate with them.

There is no anti jewish posts on ex-heads, you are leftwing nationalsocialist and pathological liar, you are more disgusting than hitler
