They’ve apparently only shared it on some matrix room so far but will publish it.

You can read the comments in the thread for slightly more detail, but the essence of it is that lemmy (and especially kbin?) and too immature in terms of moderation tooling and shouldn’t really be opening themselves up to the public as anything more than an alpha test.

Some sort of response or discussion here makes sense, especially in light of Beehaw.org’s recent defederation from lemmy.world, because of, it seems, lemmy.world’s open signup policy and what beehaw find to be insufficient moderation tooling (see discussion here: https://lemmy.world/post/170911 or same but on lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/1281130 )

I think it’s a good question. There’s a real chance that there are at least some platform differences which lead to different moderation needs.

Nonetheless, it does seem to be the case that some UI improvements could go a long way, as the beehaw people have requested.

By the same token, these may not require too much work (?)
