Are Lemmy communities not able to moderate themselves?

Moderating can only go so far for brigading. Mass downvotes aren’t something moderators have control over. There’s also the risk of what reddit did where tons of subreddits proactively banned people simply for participating in other subreddits without ever posting in the banned subreddit.

The bottom line is that while reddit is super liberal, lemmy is openly hostile to anyone right of center and I don’t see any realistic solution to this. Welcome to the growing pains of a 15+ year old system going down and starting over from scratch.

I guess on Reddit conservative communities just have the critical mass needed to overcome the downvotes?

I suppose there being enough subreddits to distract people to the communities they’re interested keeps them from trolling/brigading/etc the communities they’re not.

The /r/conservative subreddit bans anybody who isn’t conservaitve from commenting in the majority of important threads.
