Unfortunately Lemmy currently lacks sophisticated moderation tools and any other tools other than full defederation. From Beehaw’s statements they would really have rather has options other than full defederation.

One way defederation and/or providing other instances read only access to a Lemmy would probably be very helpful feature to have. While not the most useful at the moment, since everything is so new, being able to vary other instances access on their instances age and age of accounts would probably be helpful in reducing the worst of the trolling/spam.

Now we just need to get rid of the image preview for really old farts like me. I also wouldn’t mind a theme that gets rid of the inline images in comments and just replaces them with a link.
