Most of reddit’s content is user generated to some extent. If there’s bad content, it’s because of people. Most of lemmy’s content is user generated. Same cause same consequence.
If we want to delve into what could be different… moderation. Made by people (aside from very far-reaching illegal stuff, on both platforms).
Conclusion: the problem is people, not reddit nor lemmy.
If people will be people, the interesting difference will be how the platform works. I guess this is the true test of the federated approach. What does it hinder or facilitate in practice and what are the actual effects?

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

It feels like half the global feed is bot posts.
And half of that is a repost from Reddit, which was also a Reddit repost.
