Yeah I think this comes down to centralized moderation in general. The fediverse helps, but you’re still ultimately picking a server to have control over your identity and data and to police your behavior.
I don’t like twitter-likes, but blueskys version of moderation seems a bit better, although the bluesky corporation still has more influence than I’d like (even if it is technically avoidable).
Honestly, I think what would be best is a sort of “network of trust”, where you just see posts from friends of friends, and you explore the network by adding friends. It would eliminate bot spam immediately, and limit virality (which lowkey I think hurts people generally unless they’re making money off it being an influencer, which I also don’t like enabling) but makes discoverability harder. You’d need to find a way for ideas to spread easily while limiting any specific posts’ reach

the problem is that closes you in a bubble and severely hinders your ability to discover new people, topics, or points of view, which is what the network like lemmy is about, i think.
