Shouldn’t there be some sort of baseline of sanity for community moderators? This dude is straight up pushing non-stop propaganda of his flavoring and deletes anything that he doesn’t like of https://lemmy.world/c/latestagecapitalism the mod log is very transparent and if that’s not power tripping I don’t know what is.
There should, but isn’t. I recently got into a mutually uncivil argument on the .ml world news community. A tankie kept abusively pestering me long after I told them to leave me alone and I made the mistake of voicing my irritation in stead of ignoring them.
While the tankie received no mod action, I was banned not only from that community, but also from the USA news community, the technology community and the fucking MEME community, in spite of none of them being relevant to the topic at hand (Chinese government ethnically cleansing Tibetans).
And it was Dessalines (creator of Lemmy and ml admin) taking time out of their no doubt busy schedule to make sure that some guy who commented on a post about China’s atrocities couldn’t upvote memes. Seemingly too busy to respond to my appeal, though, because of COURSE 🤦
So nah, when probably the closest thing to a “leader” Lemmy has is themself an unhinged tankie, there’s really no sanity required…

I saw db0 justify daddy is always right related to another power tripping but you got some links?
The block button is your friend
Simply blocking is not the solution to this set of problems though lol
My QoL has improved on Lemmy after leaving all the tankie instances and instance blocking
The man is coding the preferred fedi reddit stack. It deserves that respect but yeah the rest is just an oponion!
Woah, I think you just said the quiet part out loud.
This is probably the test I see moderators fail the most. I’ve seen so many instances of users getting into flame wars and then a mod comes in only to remove/ban one side.
If one user says “I love Trump! Fuck everyone who doesn’t!” and then someone responds “Fuck you! You’re a fucking idiot if you love Trump!” and only the first comment gets removed for being uncivil, I think less of the mod. The mod didn’t apply the rules fairly. They just removed the comment they didn’t agree with.
I use that example because, if the mod removed the second comment but left the first, then people would be posting the modlog to [email protected] as an example of terrible moderation. I think even users can be biased towards moderator actions they agree with even if they’re not fair.
With how they’ll suddenly mass-ban people I’m half convinced the mod tools many people ask for exist, but only on their installation, out of spite and enjoyment that only they have the power
