honestly federation is a double edged sword, especially when lemmy has very limited user controls in place (from what i recall you have to completely trust the federating instance)
They've been including new moderation features in more recent releases, but yeah it still has a ways to go. I don't think the "other edge" of the sword would affect Hexbear too badly at first, since we would immediately be the most active instance (unless GZD fullly migrates over).
