Reddit spent many years establishing relatively consistent modding for the big subreddits, and the big subreddits were far bigger than the Fediverse equivalents are yet. It just takes time to sort out.
Fortunately there are multiple instances, so multiple worldnews communities, none of which is the “official” one. If this one turns into a cesspool then oh well, switch to one of the others as your main source of news.

IIRC kbin allows users to ban instances, so even if those don’t defederate they can be made to “go away” for individual users. Maybe Lemmy will get that ability too, it seems like a good idea.
