Are you expecting admins to simultaneously grow huge networks / compete with reddit while preventing your eyes from beholding any bad content for a few minutes? If so I think you may just have unrealistic expectations.
Or maybe you would rather be on a small server that federates with very few other instances and heavily vets each user. Thats the only way I can imagine you getting what you want right now. With time I’m sure fediverse mod tools will mature, but for now I just don’t understand how this is a realistic expectation at all.
Admins are not omnipotent. The sooner you report, the sooner it goes away. Some people are wasting time screen capping and boosting the hate, instead of not feeding the trolls. This was just kind of understood in the early days of the internet. It’s a bit of a wilderness and when hate pops up its not because the admin maliciously wanted it there.
I miss the old days when you could just not feed the trolls. Now people try to silence them, fight trolling with hate disguised as the moral high ground. Many new Lemmy users are so used to the echo chambers and carefully moderated garden of eden that is Reddit. I just wish they would create their own instance, vet the users, and vet who they federated to. But I also predict that if they got big enough they would try to impose their morals on every federated instance.
