I came from Reddit where they definitely did matter. They don’t seem to hold any real weight here. Is this true for some or all instances? If they don’t matter, what are they for?

No idea honestly mate, but what I meant when I brought up the illegality was really that it's usually very disturbing content, which mods catch and remove before loads of people have to see it.

If it's a new account posting that stuff, I don't know how the system we're discussing would prevent loads of users having to see it - altho I guess if those blacklists of users were collaborative and the person or team whose list you've "subscribed" to catch it, maybe that solves the issue?

Ya, something like that. There would be a government man with an account, keeping an eye out. Updating the gov black list as necessary.

That feels a bit dangerous to me, sincerely. Like, what if the government mod of a country decides LGBTQ stuff is blacklisted? How do users protest the legislative blacklist? I guess just switch instance?

About the same as lemmy I guess. The gov will always be an issue
