Another way to look at this: I'd rather allow some junk posts than be strict and without much content. Let Lemmy grow before the communities become very specific and strict.

MODERATORS
Instead of forcing a fediverse to ban certain posts, why don't you just block them from your side? Just blacklist certain words.
Unlike previous social media sites that drive on engagement, here we have that option.

Lol, you're doing something wrong. I just scrolled through my feed and saw one image of Trump and one image of Ghouliani. The rest have zero to do with politics unless you count the military guy from another country holding a gun to his head as "political".

Everything is political
Ever notice that calls to ban politics only ever happen when Republicans look bad?
Yeah. It must have something to do with Democrats having no sense of boundaries.
You can block communities individually.
