You should assume every online space has disinformation, bad actors, trolls, sea lions, and other types of undergrowth. That is why critical thinking is so important.

Including Lemmy. Especially Lemmy, since it's so easy to create accounts on different instances, or even host your own.

Very true, but due to its size, it doesn't really make sense to focus on it.
