I have spam in my email. Should I report that to the police as well?

There just isn't enough for regular police to go on, without even considering jurisdiction. Cooperating with authorities is fine, but there's not really anyone to proactively reach out to about this.

4vhan was pretty left leaning with some libertarian (and still rampant racism). It was also, by far, the easiest social media to manipulate.

It's a mistake, imo. Any server that's managed by a team (org) instead of one person and is hosted in a datacenter and with a reasonable number of users should have priority on that list.

It's great that you can host Lemmy from your basement. But that experience should be left for advanced users who understand federation, and won't have an issue migrating when feddit.de goes down.

Isn't it easier to handle most users on one server than it is to have a bunch of equal servers? Then the problem just moves off the one server towards the communication between the servers being the bottleneck.

Wouldn't this also do the opposite? prevent a sub like the_donald or lemmygrad from just banning everyone they don't like? Did this place have professional fact checkers before?
