      At least they received an email. I had a post removed from one subreddit without notification, and only because it poked a little fun at the subreddit’s topic. Overall it was positive, but for one moderator, I assume it got under their skin.

      Don’t know how many other posts may have been treated the same. Don’t seem to get that here though.

      We’re in the part of the fediverse where they have no power here. Well, they do, if they make their own instance and shamefully there are power-tripping people in those instances that are presumably from moderators like these on Reddit. So, yeah I do believe it hits home when they carry that behavior over.

    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.

    Petty tyrants whose real life is so sad and irrelevant that they abuse the tiny bit of power they have in order to feel important. In the process, they make the decent mods look like pricks by association.

    You couldn’t pay me enough to be a reddit mod.

    The auto-mod even could remove your 1000 paragraphs essay because it included just one specific forbidden word in a single line in a single paragraph.

    The first is useful to weed out people posting in bad faith, bots, alt accounts created to start trouble, etc.

    The rest are all BS.
