Hi, I'm part of the Community Team for Lemmy.World. We help with finding moderators, make sure communities are kept up, and make sure moderators follow the site rules.

To some extent mods are mods. There will always be people who disagree, vehemently, and some people who resent any rules or moderation at all.

I mention this because there are a couple things I've tried to do on our instance to address Reddit mistakes. First, I try to avoid having several large communities under the same mods. The mod who holds a grudge in !trees shouldn't be able to ban you from !science. (Assuming those are both large communities).

This can be difficult, because you'd be surprised at how few extremely active people are willing to moderate even a tiny community. The other is that instead of putting out advertisements to recruit for mods, I try to draft mods. So our mods are not limited to those who seek out the position.

the reddit mods of the large subs should not be one on here, because many of them are powermods(they have hordes large accounts under thier belt, plus i heard many of those are in cahoots with the admins of reddit.

what lemmy needs is the niche subs. also indian subs are pretty much taking over reddit, solely because of the sheer number of people in india, apparently they dont have a sole "social media" platform of thier own. and i heard this is drama with india subs, solely because of the BJP bots.

The advantage lemmy has is that unlike reddit, you can easily make a community of the same name, just on a different server in the case of mod disagreements.

Its MUCH harder to powertrip on lemmy, both because the mod tools are ass, and spinning a new community isnt hard.

Didn't like tenforward have tHe Exodus drama with some mod?

You got a point... What i meant to say is whoever is maintaining the migration of content to lemmy. Hope they put some effort into advertising Lemmy as a viable alternative.
