MODERATORS
If those "moderation tools" means something like the automated blanket moderation with no recourse that's going on Reddit... we already have that, it's Reddit and pretty much every other for-profit platform where "some false positives" are acceptable as long as they don't damage the income sources by offsetting the influx of new users.
At least a few third-party apps are being adapted to Lemmy, those were where most of the richest moderation tools were. Reddit has a pretty substantial, matured API to handle a lot of those moderation tasks. That’s where Lemmy needs to catch up more than anything else when talking about moderation. I think that moderation in Lemmy will be important, there’s a lot more at stake for these communities if proper moderation is not in place.
