Hey folks!

This is a quick notice about a change to our moderation policy.

We have had a policy on lemm.ee for administration and federation nearly since the very beginning. This policy has also always included a section about moderator responsibilities. Today, we have made two changes to this policy:

The policy has been renamed to Policy for administration, moderation, federation - this is to make it clear that the policy is also relevant for mods
We have introduced a new responsibility for moderators, they must "Ensure that they only provide accurate and clear reasons for mod actions".

The reason for the addition is that mod log actions federate out to other instances, and are more or less permanent (due to how Lemmy and federation works right now). This means that users do not really currently have any easy way to clarify or defend themselves against inaccurate accusations in the mod log.

As always, I am very grateful to all mods for your efforts in building awesome communities on lemm.ee. I hope you can understand why this new policy is necessary - I do not want to make your lives more difficult, the goal is to just try and reduce any mod log related misunderstandings in the future.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day!

1: Saying that this specific account is an Alt for Drones Rights is not doxxing, when you are being banned for Ban Evasion

2: Everything you put onto the internet is public info, dont put or say anything online that you dont want users to have access to

I'm quite open about being Drone Rights. I've never hidden it. Some people have tried to gotcha with "you're drone rights", and I said "yes... That's obvious. I even moderate the community from this account." But there's another person who is closeted about their gender and has been accused of being me by an instance admin who claims to have access to secret logs that say we're the same person. Given that I have faced massive amounts of harassment, abuse, and transphobia for being openly dronegender, and they are not open about their gender, you can see how I would not want them to be exposed to people like you.
