Over the past few days , possibly longer, someone has been making new accounts and using them to post scat porn in various communities here. Like, gifs of poop coming from buttholes.
What the fuck and can we do something about it?

What exacly does the “Lemmy experience” have over the “reddit experience”?
Anyone can create and administer vs. Reddit’s centralized control. Whether this is an advantage or not depends on your values. Many people have moved to Lemmy from Reddit recently because the folks that run Reddit have made some unpopular decisions and, because Reddit is centralized and closed-source, the only options are to accept the admins decrees or abandon the platform. On the other hand, if the administrators of a Lemmy instance make unpopular decisions, it is easy to move to another instance or create a new instance with different administration.
And herein lies the problem. The absolute majority of Reddit users did not care enough to switch platforms, just as the absolute majority of Twitter users didn’t care.
What those people do care about, if they ever were to consider Lemmy to move to, is that it provides a similar ease of use as Reddit does. And currently, Lemmy does not.
Besides that, I don’t see how this fits the analogy about cars vs. pickup trucks you have given. Pickup trucks can be used as cars, albeit not as optimally as your average sedan. But they serve another purpose, carrying stuff around, that makes them superior to cars. With Lemmy vs. reddit, all you really choose is who gets to moderate you. There is no different experience using either platform. The only difference is that, at least for now, Lemmy is a lot more difficult to use.
It seems you have it in your head that it is correct for Lemmy to “try” (whatever that means for an open source project and a decentralized federation of instances) to replace Reddit. That is not, however, what Lemmy is “trying” to do. No one is making you stay. If you like Reddit, like I said, go on back. I, for one, will be staying here.

But there is a hugely different experience. Here on the fediverse, you can talk to people whose mouths are not filled with corporate cock.
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @Quacksalber @zzzzz yeah it’s filled with real cock
