So far, the majority of content that approaches spam I've come across on Lemmy has been posts on [email protected] which highlight an issue attributed to the fediverse, but which ultimately have a corollary issue on centralised platforms.
Obviously there are challenges to address running any user-content hosting website, and since Lemmy is a comminity-driven project, it behooves the community to be aware of these challenges and actively resolve them.
But a lot of posts, intentionally or not, verge on the implication that the fediverse uniquely has the problem, which just feeds into the astroturfing of large, centralized media.
