    they are way too uptight.

    I donā€™t get why people have such a hard time seeing how hard effective moderation of 100ā€™000s of people isā€¦ The people running lemmy arenā€™t companies or businesses, they are hobbyistsā€¦ They do all the administration and moderation in their spare timeā€¦ Taking care of the server cost is one thing, but moderation is no jokeā€¦ Especially when the tools provided are also build by hobbyists who have been building this in their spare time as wellā€¦

    And itā€™s better to act when you notice that you cannot effectively moderate when things are relatively harmlessā€¦ Because what happens when trolls notice that they cannot moderate effectively and actually post harmful content, like threats, cp, etc?
