Probably people getting down voted like crazy for asking simple questions isn’t really good for retention or growth. Late stage reddit behavior. Guess lemmy is going to speed run all of the downside of reddit.
It’s wise to not give a fuck about downvotes. They can’t hurt you. You can’t make it right for everyone. And that’s okay. Sometimes you say stuff that agrees with a couple of people. Sometimes you don’t. Questions included, as some might see those as a statement. You’re free to do the same. Isn’t democracy beautiful?
i think the point is that there is no single lemmy server - so if you want to put in the work and set up a server you never check up on, yeah sure whatever this isn’t legal advice.
But also, if people wanna set up a space that bans the most obnoxious behavior while cultivating real conversation, they can do that too.
Isn’t the whole point of lemmy is you don’t “have” to monitor it with admins?
You just made me realise a non-zero amount of people have this view and post/behave however they want - leading to instance closures and defederations

No, the point of Lemmy is to be decentralized and non-corporate. It has nothing to do with monitoring or moderating.
