I’m seeing patterns and likeliness that I find on Reddit, to be happening on here on Lemmy. Too many of the same moderators and some of the ones that enact comment removals and everything seem to inflict one party but not the others.
That’s just bad moderating. So, okay, you removed a comment of mine for incivility. But you allow the clear responses after my comment to stay there, that also is just as uncivil.
Because that makes about as much sense as the way things are moderated over in Reddit, right?
Please tell me I’m not wasting my time on the Fediverse if this is how things are going to be. Bad enough that moderators seem to have selective attention spans in regards to what is posted on the instances that they allow. Repetitious stuff that clutters the magazines when we want to read something new.
If this is the case, I mind as well go back to ban evading whack-a-mole with Reddit.
And the same goes for communities too. Unlike Reddit, people here (like me:-) continually browse by “All”, and will find posts as they come out, plus there are communities literally dedicated to letting people know what communities are out there.
Counterpoint: mods here are doing heroic work by holding up all of Lemmy, even though (reportedly? I am not a mod here myself) the mod tools here suck ass, especially across instances. It can’t be an easy job.
It’s also unpaid labor, and exposes them to things like CSAM or other nastiness that I for one would not want to have to wade through. Sure, nobody is perfect, yet if OP wants to volunteer then let them, but why the shade at these unpaid volunteers donating their time to keep us all happy?
