Yes, moderation tools in general aren't that great on here, nor is there a lot of interest from the developers to improve them.
Most moderators rely on bots and scripts. I myself have written bash scripts to fetch all reports from instances using alts because reports don't federate.
It's great for explaining entry level information on a wide variety of topics. More advanced / obscure topics are more prone to hallucinations. I used it to learn React and it was a great introduction.
