Mod abuses, power trips

22 readers
3 users here now

A place to discuss and call out mod abuse on Lemmy (or elsewhere if you really want to), or power trips

A more free speech alternative to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !modabuse@lemmy.sdf.org

  1. Revealing the mods identities is authorized
  2. Don't harass people
  3. Explain the situation and context, explain why you think this is abusive
  4. Avoid brigading, prefer boycotting
  5. Avoid trolling, !modabuse@lemmy.sdf.org is a better place for this
  6. Meta (posts about this community) are authorized

I just found out that there's a local mod abuse community. Cool!

A lemmy.ml admin (https://lemmy.ml/u/cypherpunks) censored blasphemy, claiming rule 1 "No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia".

Here is the original comment: https://lemmy.zip/comment/20729770 and post: https://lemmy.ml/post/34489826

The admin also censored this image: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/39f58cfd-d6b7-4fdc-bbf6-b8c4b465c423.png (see here: https://i.ibb.co/YFHb5KxK/image.png)

I am not sure if everyone agrees with me, but I believe blasphemy should be a right. Blasphemy isn't bigotry!

That’s an interesting way to do it

The issue is ml was the biggest instance for a while, so a lot of comms there became the "default" ones. The idea is to build alternative comms so people aren't forced to interact with ml. cm0002 is leading the charge on this. They did a whole breakdown on why you shouldn't interact with ml but I can't find it at the moment, but feel free to check out meanwhileongrad for an idea of how common moderation like this is on ml.
