Yup. Good old bash.org
And they blow it up. Turns out OP did give a flying f***
To be pedantic, transparency mod bots exists on reddit and server admins can redact the log here.
Server admins can set up moderation filters to deal with stuff like that, and should be coordinating with each other on detected spam patterns, etc.
Infrastructure costs
Lemmy has language tags. Clients could offer integration with translation tools.
Lemmy is built around forums, which is very distinct from microblogging when it comes to moderation and management.
You don't get the same kind of context collapse as on Twitter. You don't get the same kind of dependency on server wide shared culture like on many niche Mastodon servers. Although context collapse still happens to some degree on reddit and may happen here when threads gets popular, it's possible for forums to be moderated to minimize it and enforce quality. You don't get nearly as many people trying to enforce their rules in others' spaces, because forum makes it clear that it's not "your feed" (like how some try to control what they see not with filters but instead by harassing people who post stuff they don't like), here it's somebody's forum and somebody else is the moderator. You can stop seeing specific content by blocking those forums instead of blocking the users. Forums which you don't interact with doesn't affect you!
Because of how the federation works here, volume alone is never the main problem. Forums can be hosted on small instances just fine. Users on small instances can use big forums just fine. If a particular forum is poorly moderated it can be blocked regardless of where it's hosted. Admins for small servers can filter content from problematic servers, regardless how big they are, and can do it on a per-forum basis too in order to avoid collateral.
Spurious defederation between servers where one has a lot of users is where the problems gets complicated.

It's a simple tautology that following the best model has the highest chance of success in achieving the goal you modeled. The real difficulty is in figuring which that model is, thus the scientific method
