So I just had a mod out a harassment report I had made to the very people that have been harassing me, connect it with my username, and be dismissively mocking about it.

This is absolutely the kind of reddit behavior I left there to avoid.

Of course all of you will tell me "But itsn't against any rules", and I counter: It creates a hostile environment which is explicitly against the rules.

I've searched and scoured and the only thing I've found is to post to this community. That feels strange as this isn't a technical issue.

Is there anything to be done about this or do I just leave Lemmy too?

You'll hear 2 different things here, and I'm not sure which bucket you fall into.

  1. You've honestly been harassed by a mod, and that sucks. There's at least one mod I know on one instance that I had to actively block because they were such a tool. If it's Lemmy.World, this is the right place, if you go into the instance info you can also ping the admins directly. You may want to collect some info first like your interactions just so they have the ammunition they need to take action. You can also switch instances if you like, you're still beholden to mods on the offending instance, but it's an option to at least not be on the same instance.

  2. You are the harasser. If this is the case, then yes mods are more strict here, and personally I have liked it. Reddit was very tolerant of trolls in my experience, and here it is less so. So, if you're being a jerk, then expect mods to ban you.

I have no idea which one you fall into, but I hope it clears it up a bit.

  1. Yes it is a lemmy.world instance

  2. This is always the claim harassers make, crybullies every one knowing right were to stand to be seen as within the bounds but actively pushing every button they can find to force others out. Always. I have seen this behavior in children of every age from 7 to 87 and it is always the same, and always treated the same by authority. It's why school bullies love zero tolerance policies. I could go on a lot longer but every word I have to write to you sends me into teeth-grinding frustration because I know exactly the fuck kind of person you are on that above social transaction play.
