That's just how federation works out in every federated service ever.
Seems like a good strategy would be to not have every post and comment shown to you if your goal is to break your habit of spending too much time on your phone or PC.

Lemmy.world has no lock in on their "power". They have the most volunteer labor, money, and infrastructure. That's makes them stable, so people aren't worried about their data suddenly going offline (like kbin) and they don't worry about the service being flaky.
This was organized crime by a corrupt school official. This isn't petty crime. So I don't think this situation is one of those that "does nothing useful" to have severe consequences. Additionally, your dismissal of the circumstances around the crime seems odd.

Jail is the best option here. I think the sentencing could be lighter and the parole and probation system should be fixed, but there's not much better to be done in a scenario like this.
Also I think making kids starve constitues violence.
Probably independently owned and operated, non-franchised restaurants.

I'm probably stretched too thin but I don't have any real expectations. When I'm active, they tend to be active. but nothing has taken on its own beyond a small group of Washington Capitals Hockey fans.
I appreciate your attempt to improve the culture in this community, but I feel like you have made up in your head what Lemmy is supposed to be. Please don't get exhausted with random people being rude.
