Their recent-ish AMA doesn't show that they care about moderation much
I didn't see really any questions relating to mod tools or moderation outside of the one that was talking about the join-lemmy lists. Is that what you are referring to or do you mean the lack of mod tool discussion on that AMA?
A couple of beehaw admin had questions about the status of moderation tooling and the Lemmy Devs were like "not an emphasis"
Why did two people downvote this? That's exactly what happened. The devs stated they didn't care much for mod tools at the moment and also stated they wouldn't remove exploding heads from join-lemmy in another thread in the AMA, which is a whole other level of wtf.
The reality of it is that the platform wasn't well thought out. The primary motivation was to copy Reddit functionally from a users perspective. That moderation tooling wasn't even much of an afterthought is telling considering the language choice.
