Okay, so, I've just done a review of the #moderation features in both #Lemmy and #kbin. I've written up a fuller report on the IFTAS matrix, but the tl;dr is: if you care about user safety, do not deploy either of these. They do not feature comprehensive or well built moderation tools, and you will not be able to effectively moderate instances running this software. You are better off waiting to deploy these once they mature more. Edit: removed user mentions to stop spamming them.

I don't understand why these types of people come to the Fediverse if what they want is total control of their community and all interactions within it. Just create a closed message board with restricted sign-ups.

I don't think a lack of "total control" is the issue that OP is talking about. Regardless of how much control one wants to have over their instance, they still need the ability to effectively moderate illegal content.

They get to police other instances that way, I guess.
