Moral responsibility according to hard determinists

Hello! I consider myself a hard determinist and I have the following question  for other fellow hard determinists ; is there any moral responsibility  if we have no free will, that each one of our action or thought is the  inevitable result of causes we have no control on, then are we morally  responsable for any of our actions? Sure, the baron d’Holbach and others  said that we need to criticise bad actions and encourage good ones for  the common good, but that doesn’t mean criminals are, for example  morally responsible for their actions, it just means that society can  take the necessary means to prevent criminals from harming society more.  Are hard determinists forced to become some kind of nihilists? Thanks  in advance for your answers!

Since free will is normally constructed as 'the control necessary for moral responsibility' without it then people are not morally responsible, yes.

About moral responsibility yes, about other things, not necessarily.
