MODERATORS
What communities are you using? I haven’t been running into these issues and I’ve been here for a couple of years.
However, there are a few notorious instances and communities that do just that.
You and I have had very different experiences. I don't mean to invalidate yours however.
There's some rogue admins and mods, sure, but I haven't come up against them much in over two years and it's not like I've been walking on eggshells.
Where have you experienced this the most? Certain instances or mods?
I think the larger instances kind of end up being quite similar to Reddit. Same pithy comments, same inability to self-reflect, same weird self-assurance that they are in the majority, regardless of subject.
It takes a lot of curation but I think it’s possible to find the social media you want on Lemmy.
With the exception of .ml (if you haven't been banned there at least once, well are you even trying? /j ) I'm good IMO.
I have a couple of banned-by-idiots stories but nothing like these, just regular stuff.
Well sorry this hasn't worked out. Between june 2023 to aug 2023 this site turned to be more like reddit in some ways and less of a niche site... in both good ways and bad.
If you want a forward path of action from here, maybe make a thread to brainstorm how it can be better. Perhaps define a space that fits your philosophy and see if there's a match with something existing.
See beehaw.org. They are disconnected from lemmy.world and their main rule is to be(e) nice. It's one rule, it's subjective to avoid rules lawyering, and fairly applied, you get some leeway with warnings if your behaviour is problematic.
Just remember that mods are unpaid volunteers like Reddit, so the ones dedicated enough to donate their time and energy to mod tend to be terminally online. They take a lot of abuse from people and that fatigue grows over time and with an increasing userbase.
