This is the stupidest thing I’ve read in a long time. If you think there are only 6 “media companies” and that they all get their news from AP or Reuters, then you need to get the fuck off the internet for a while.

Exactly this

I think its gonna have to be voluntary, bud. As Lemmy gets more users and communities start forming, people will start moderating on their own accord. If you see something serious, like ad spamming, hate speech or CP, it might be worth reporting it to the home servers admins.

If you want to reduce lag, join an instance other than lemmy.world. its a fine instance, but probably over loaded. You can see and interact with pretty much all Lemmy content from any instance. I think kbin will be better, but needs an app.
