How much power do Lemmy server admins have over the content that they are hosting?

Are server admins able to selectively modify user's content? Do they have the power to selectively edit, move, delete etc.? Or does the collective federation prevent a single bad actor from taking authoritative control?

Are server admins able to selectively modify user’s content?

Through the UI, all they can do is delete it.

However, with direct DB access, modification of content is possible

Absolute. If you want to maintain control yourself you need to Self-Host.
