Public timeline is trash🤮 (lemmy.ml)

I don't really browse the public timeline but when I do, I wish I never looked at it again.

The local timeline of the instance that I am on is pretty good and well moderated.

The public timeline should be removed imo

Isn't the global timeline supposed to show just the posts from the instances your home instance federates with? There are many (relatively-small, usually, but also larger ones) instances that federate just with servers that are known to host good content, in these cases the federated timeline is a great feature. Similarly, here on Lemmy, the federated frontpage contains good content and is not a bottomless pit of bots/spam/cryptonews like mastodon.social's federated timeline. Not sure if you're advocating for its disabling just in mastodon.social 🤔
