The Mod of progressive Politics ([email protected]) removes any opinion they don’t like and bans any users that hold these “descenting” opinions. I was banned for pointing out that a

    I know that guy. He’s a fucking troll. I don’t know how he got to be the mod of that community. Seriously.

    It’s a common trend among these communities.

    Just call whoever you disagree with a troll, then you don’t have to argue and mods can censor them.

    That’s moderators. You think that Lemmy is more “cozy” because local moderators are better than Reddit’s ones? No, local moderators are just fewer and lazier. But when they work on the message, they are indistinguishable from any other mods.

      What’s even a local mod? Reddit has no mods of their own in general and they outsource „admin” work to some call center in India where reports are actioned upon a roll of dice.

      Agreed.

      Lemmy has the potential to have less mod abuse, but we need communities that don’t engage in it.

      Right now most mods will abuse power whenever it’s convenient or preferable to them.

    You have direct attacks on users based on their instance in your screenshots, fam.

    I mean, I say the same things, I just don’t cry when the obvious .ml alt bans me for it.

    Just instance-block .world, as the reddit refugees end up there, the least worst will naturally filter out to other smaller instances in a helpful Darwinian selection process

      Lemmy is drawn almost entirely from Reddit refugees. The occasional mastodon user wandering in with @s at everything doesn’t change that.

        Right, and my ideal situation is that all the low-quality ones stay on .world and the rest filter out to join us on smaller instances.
