Reddit has attracted plenty of moderators but on the fediverse those moderators are often lacking in my experience. Some servers have strict moderation (which I’m a big fan of) but there are many people who consider their abuse being removed an infringement of their freedom of speech.
With the fediverse working across servers, every server needs moderators or you’ll have trolls or general shitheads moving from server to server, ruining the experience for everyone. I’ve set up an instance just for myself and I’m already considering writing a script that syncs up the blacklists of various Lemmy servers because I don’t want to deal with that crap every time I open a thread.
