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.

    Are other social media better at that?

    Based on the number of people asking how to circumvent a ban on !reddit@lemmy.world , I guess so

    Wait, I know 196 moved to .world but reddit is there too now??? This is going too far!

    Jokes aside, I see your point. Guess they have an authentication system or something. Most lemmy instances have a "tell us why you want to join" field and I think some require emails. Sure, this isn't perfect but it's not systemically important to prevent evil doers.

    Eh, if an instance allows trolls, then that instance typically gets defederated from very quickly (at least it does on my instance). The only reason it is an issue now is that two of the big three instances (.world and .ml) have very lax moderation standards. If the lemmy-verse grows to the size of Reddit, then two lax instances won't be as big of an issue.
