Lemmy is a confederation of (ideally) self-moderating instances, individual instances can't be expected to take up moderation load that should be covered by other instances -- like the home instance of notorious brigaders like /r/the_donald folk.
Or, differently put: See this post by our god emperor sunaurus.
What about the moderators of the forums themselves? I would think that is the first line of defense. Instance moderators then step in if necessary, but that will only affect what happens at that instance?
Front lines are only as strong as the artillery backing them up.
