I’m trying fast-forward and imagine how we’ll end up also hating lemmy in the future.

Could be, but more likely it’s just the result of having self hosted services, you have individuals exposing their own small servers to the wilderness of internet.

These trols also try constantly to post their crap to mainstream social media but they have it more difficult there. My guess is that they noticed lemmy is getting a big traction and has very poor media content control. Easy target.

Moderating media content is a difficult task and for sure centralized social media have better filters and actual humans in place to review content. Sadly, only big tech companies can pay for such infrastructure to moderate media content.

I don’t see an easy way for federated servers to cope with this.

DIY or not they still need to test the laptop fully assembled before shipping so I don’t see a way around that.
