I think Lemmy should be huge. Think about how many subreddits exist for every niche. It would be great if those places could exist free of corporate influence.
Federated platforms are significantly more effective than centralized ones at mitigating the influence of bad actors.
Lemmy’s design is fundamentally excellent to deal with bad actors, the whole point of ActivityPub/Federation is that moderation is much more effective while also preserving free speech. I’m not sure what that person on about.

Is that the case? Isn’t the federated structure good to leave an instance once it got bad? And bans and stuff exist just like everywhere else

It’s good to leave a bad instance. It’s not the best to deal with trolls avoiding ban evasions by creating alt on every instance.

I’d argue that it actually makes it much easier not harder. If an instance refuses to moderate itself, it gets kicked out of the network.
