Oh for sure, I think the only reason some communities are clean is because they aren’t that big yet.
I’ve only had a handful of threads spiral out of control, and it was a mess to clean up each one. The button to remove something is right next to the button to make someone a mod. Also once something is removed, it’s inaccessible to everyone including the mods. At one point I removed something and couldn’t ban the user because the comment was gone. It was a spam bot though so I got them a little while later.
This also reminds me that Lemmy needs better mod tools.
What if “we” (users in general, specially mods) created some communal wishlist in some highly visible space, exclusively for mod features? Not just for the Lemmy devs, but for anyone who wants to code a third party tool.

Beehaw did that in one of their pinned local posts
Beehaw is fairly isolated from other instances, so odds are that the visibility wasn’t that great, but I’ll give it a check.
