The problem is that the community you might want to be involved with might be under them. The mods do not represent a community, and may even work against it. This is sort of what happened in reddit’s worldnews, where its mods have worked to make it be the neozionist hotspot it is today.
You end up doing pretty much what you do in reddit if you want to continue participating in a community, just creating another alt and try to post when the asshole mods are not active. Most people don’t just move on to the discount alternative community with 90% less people participating in it.
The whole algorithm of what a community is really needs to be reworked, but most people on lemmy just seem to want discount reddit.
This is the power of the fediverse.
You can have all the anti speech rules you want on your instance, people can just start posting elsewhere using the same account and app.

It has already worked in the past.
!movies@lemm.ee and !showsandmovies@lemm.ee replaced !moviesandtv@lemm.ee

Just FYI: the second !showsandmovies@lemm.ee should be !moviesandtv@lemm.ee.
Well spotted!
I think what ends up happening though is the number of people that actually end up seeing your content is so small it’s kinda pointless.
Seems like it becomes a situation of “which wind would you like to piss into.”
…that’s kind of what all of this is regardless, no?
There isn’t that many people posting on Lemmy as a whole, so people will follow where the content gets posted.
!newcommunities@lemmy.world helps to promote new communities
