I was wondering if there were systems in place for users to report mods who are just ignoring the code of conduct and just abusing their power of moderator as a whole?
I’ve seen that we could get in touch via Mastodon, but I don’t have an account for that unfortunately and I was curious to know if there were other ways
Banning someone from an instance also bans them from communities they participate in. Or at least, it used to.
That’s probably the core of the issue. People probably don’t mind being banned from !politics@lemmy.ml or !news@lemmy.ml for such statements, it’s not like it’s a surprise based on the political stance of the instance.
Being banned from Linux and keyboard communities seems unrelated. Which is why people are recreating those communities elsewhere.
If instances are like separate Reddits then it is just like getting a siteban.
Also something being “politics” does not mean it should entitle you to other spaces. This is how reactionaries self-victimize to excuse, say, transphobia.
Indeed, and like Reddit, people are leaving for other sites, or in this case instances
Sounds like a good thing given the reasons they are “leaving”.
