I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.

One downvote from the OP to troll; one downvote from the troll to OP; ten downvotes from the troll’s arsenal of alts to OP; hundreds of downvotes to the troll from the community.

Except when other people get into the discussion,and you realize that other people are also part of the circlejerk that the initial troll initiated.

Reddit with their quirks and issues have at least demonstrated it’s fine for the most part. Established communities can identify trolls quickly, make them easier to spot for moderators through voting, and enable moderation tools to act and block quickly. Whereas the current Lemmy system feels like burying their head in the sand, and pretending trolls can’t exist because only admins can, through convoluted queries, see the users’ historical vote aggregate.

On this I agree, Lemmy is definetely lacking on moderation tools. Votes should be visible to mods too.
