Where's the part where they misread your comment to give them an excuse to ban you?
...seriously, good mods don't last long in Reddit. The whole system seems tailored to give power to power-tripping irrationals with too much free time. And what worries me is that, in large part, Lemmy moderation has a similar structure. (I'm not sure on Kbin moderation because I'm not a janny there.)
Pretty much this.
I was asked to help mod a new community, and things were going pretty well for a year or so, but then the sub owner and the other mods gradually disappeared until it was just me and another guy left.
Well, turns out they were moderating/owning 30+ subs on average. We both quit that day.
I just can't understand what kind of ego boost they get out of being useless cunts in 30 places. How can such little power be so tantalizing to some people?
Yeah, that's what stunned me over at lemmy.world and lead me to leave Lemmy altogether. There was a mod, who got mad and gave me a one-warning before ban over a light issue because of an instigating gas-lighting troll troubling everyone. Like, that certainly escalated out of no where.
I don't have time for that shit. I don't like seeing it in the Fediverse.
