There might be mechanisms that render them unnecessary. Let’s say we have an instance with 10 users. If 5 of those users have blocked a spam bot, that block could propagate to the other users as well. Of course that setting should either be opt-in or clearly advertised.
Lemmy mods, at least in Lemmy World, often police the will of the community. If there is a user who much of the community disagrees with, whether they are being abusive or not, they will block them just to maintain the echo chamber. If that’s the kind of society you want, then you definitely need mods.
How about on Lemmy? You know, mods
It sounds like your question needs more context.
You’re waffling
You’re arguing in bad faith.
That would be difficult seeing as how I have yet to offer you an argument.

Pretty good in theory but technically hard to implement, as per usual.
Oh so you tried to implement it. How’d that go?
Indeed, lots of cases to consider.
So a kind of democratically crafted block list. It’s a good idea.
In Lemmy, direct democracy becomes very feasible.
