Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.

Lets keep it that way?
In my opinion, social media is extremely harmful to society. Fediverse has implemented some proper moderation, while those more popular platforms tend to amplify what makes this world crazy (and eventually completely destroyed).
If there's one reason why it's not okay that those platforms are more popular than the fediverse, it's that at least the Fediverse has the chance to properly moderate content, while on those platforms it's either unmoderated, or even worse, the quality content is oppressed.
Has it? I don't think Lemmy has proper moderation tools yet; nothing is stopping someone from spinning up a new instance and posting inappropriate content/images, which then gets replicated to other servers. I don't think there's a way for a user to block a whole instance, either.
