What are you doing about it? If you want something to change, then take it upon yourself rather than complain to others that “this needs to change”. That’s your red wagon, baby.
Somebody doooo something!
I have, I block users, communities, and instances.
what biggest instance mod abuse problem?
go to your profile. add the instance you have a problem with to your block list. Never have “mod abuse problems” from that instance again
Are you aware that you simply don’t have to use anything from that instance?
That’s the beauty of Lemmy, nothing here is centralized. Simply block that instance and don’t interact with anything from them.
If you miss some of their communities you can create your own equivalents and try to encourage people to join yours instead of theirs.
I’m not sure of the specifics you refer to, but it sounds a bit like walled-garden-thinking that there’s a central authority that can enforce rules. Lemmy is very different in that regard, every instance is subject to its owner/admin and as long as mods operate within what the operator finds acceptable, it goes.
Could you provide some details about this problem as you see it ?
Just an example, there’s many people that agree on this: https://lemmy.world/comment/11175826
So there’s many that don’t?
You made a new account to complain nobody else is solving your problem. If you don’t like the moderation in a community, start your own community. If you don’t like the moderation on an instance, start your own instance. That’s the beauty of federation. Lemmy is so small right now, everyone will see your new community and if they like the content they will participate
If you don’t like the moderation in a community, start your own community, with blackjack, and hookers!
FTFY 😁
Fun on a bun!
I must already have the mod and/or sub blocked because I have no idea what you’re talking about.
May I respectfully suggest a Marie Kondo approach to your digital life. If it isn’t sparking joy for you, throw it out.
It is the cycle of life
- Mods are power tripping I hate this
- I’m gonna make my own community with decent moderation
- Jesus Christ these users are the worst thing I’ve ever seen, just a bunch of racism and spam and it never stops
- That’s it if anyone gets out of line they’re fuckin banned, I don’t have time for this thing which has become a part time job and it never stops and everyone on all sides is always mad at me
- Cry some more I don’t care
- “Mods are power tripping I hate this”
(That is not even taking into account where someone is being a transparent dickbag and then whining when they get moderated for it, which I suspect is what’s going on here and why they don’t want to go into any details)
Hey I’m developing something related but I have no extensive experience moderating. Any advice I can note?
This is more of a theory than anything I’ve tried in practice, but I think “go ugly early” might be good advice in moderation as it is in marathons. If someone’s being a dickbag just get rid of them. Temp ban for dickbaggery, perm ban for consistent or unrepentant dickbaggery.
It seems like a lot of the mods try to dress it up in this elaborate system of rules and procedures like they’re only implementing the will of the great magnet, and they have no personal stake in anything. Just ban the dicks and people will either agree with your judgement on it or they won’t. But it seems, just from my observations, like trying to dress it up in a fig leaf of impartiality doesn’t really fool anybody.
Lemmy’s answer to mod abuse is for the community to leave and form a new one.
Developers can’t do anything and generally the admins and mods have a far tighter working relationship than other websites. Mods are also volunteers; they don’t get paid.
I’ve had issues with with FlyingSquid in the past. I ended up switching to a new instance because Lemmy.world is overflowing with douchebags.
i support and oppose many things, but not enough to engage with your clickbait.
Move to another instance, then.
That’s the beauty of the fediverse. You’re not bound to an instance. You can even set up your own.
I, for one, welcome our new Flying Squid Overlords.
That’s one of the worst Lemmy instances imo.
Lazy link to another discussion so we all have to figure out WTF you’re trying to say. Booo.
If you’re trying to say something, say it.
