I really haven’t had any issues on the two I mod, but they’re pretty small communities. And honestly, at Lemmy’s scale, if you’re feeling the need to use tools, you’re probably moderating too strictly, or you’re moderating a massive community.
Are there any stats to suggest that? I don’t mean in a “prove it or gtfo” kind of way but I maintain a community for the Pulsar text editor on lemmy.ml (back before it was cool /hipster) when there weren’t really any other (popular) instances. We have no political ideology (as a group, not speaking for individuals within it) and it is meant to be a Fediverse alternative to our Subreddit for discussion and support. The last thing I want is for people to not have access to it because instances are blocking it or people are shying away from lemmy.ml in general.
Here’s what I do:

Have you ever thought about moving !fire@lemmy.ml to another instance?
I feel like some people have been blocking lemmy.ml lately, maybe another instance would attract more people

This thread should answer your questions: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417?scrollToComments=true
I’ve considered it, yeah. There aren’t many posts, and I’ve been thinking of posting a bunch there to get it more popular.
Or maybe I’ll make a new, related community with a little broader appeal, idk. I find avoiding lemmy.ml is usually more enjoyable.
