I know probably not the perfect place to post this but want to get the discussion started and don’t know enough to be scared or not: because of the decentralization of Lemmy, is it extremely vulnerable to malicious/ad bots, astroturfing, spam and such?

The instance you are on is able to take drastic measures. I heard that’s what behaw did. They defederated while they get their moderation back in order.

The community has complete control, and has the ability to cut off other parts of the community that isn’t working.
