The federated bit just means that there are many Lemmy servers run by many people. That, plus the fact that Lemmy is free & open source, means that no single entity has control over all communities, like with commercial products. If there’s a server that people have a problem with, they can “defederate” which is basically blocking them. I think hexbear is a popular example of a server (a lemmy instance) that has been defederated/blocked by a bunch of other servers.

Have you had mod issues in this specific community, or all across lemmy? Just curious.

I might need to get some of those socks as a joke, lol.
