The federation will make lemmy a slippery target because as threads has shown us you can add a compromised server and people will block the instance or if it gets annoying enough admins will defederate it.
but how will we discover the compromised servers when the company running it did not announce it loudly?
and even then the bigger problem could be the advertiser users. lots of moderation capacity would be needed, or some kind of flagging automatism, but as we seen with Piefed people are hating even just milder such things.
