Yes, but they need to all agree with it, which is rather unlikely. Tags or any kind of topic filtering beyond nsfw and blocking entire communities or instances aren’t a thing in the standard Lemmy UI anyway, which will lead to a lot of mods who agree with the basic idea being uninterested in enforcing it.
If the moderators are doing their job, there shouldn’t be any problems. As I’ve said before: Many communities have a “no politics” rule that actually causes more problems because it’s so arbitrary. The reason for this is essentially the completely absurd U.S. discours. It’s all about the insane spectacle that the U.S. regime passes off as politics. If that can simply be filtered out - provided no relevant tag has been assigned to a topic concerning the U.S. - then fruitful, civilized debates will once again be possible.
I think the Fediverse would simply facilitate better discussions if we could effectively filter out the clown show in the U.S. - those who are interested in this could still participate in it.
I am saying they are volunteers. It’s not their job. They moderate if and when they have time, but as long as you’re not paying them you don’t have the right to complain if they don’t have the time to implement your wishes.
Why is that? It should be very easy for the mods to see whether a post deals with U.S. issues and whether the appropriate tag was used.

Get right to it soon as that first paycheck clears
If the moderators are doing their job they’re not moderating. Moderators here are volunteers, it’s not anyone’s job.
Are you serious? So you’re saying mods should be able to do whatever they want?

Yes, many moderators aren’t doing their job, what else is new.
