So I just had a mod out a harassment report I had made to the very people that have been harassing me, connect it with my username, and be dismissively mocking about it.
This is absolutely the kind of reddit behavior I left there to avoid.
Of course all of you will tell me “But itsn’t against any rules”, and I counter: It creates a hostile environment which is explicitly against the rules.
I’ve searched and scoured and the only thing I’ve found is to post to this community. That feels strange as this isn’t a technical issue.
Is there anything to be done about this or do I just leave Lemmy too?
You must log in or # to comment.
You want this place to be something different than reddit, you shouldn’t be acting like a reddit mod yourself.
Please feel free to DM https://lemmy.world/u/lwreport or email report@lemmy.world (PGP Supported).
I appologize on behalf of the OP for you having to take time to answer this.
Appreciate it, especially the quick response.
Shout into the wind I think.
Yeah, more like that other site every day…
A few weeks ago I asked a question.
“What checks and balances are in place to make mods HERE not abuse their power?”
The answer I got was “if you don’t like a mod, you can create your own community and mod it yourself”.
Which to me is a very bad solution. It’s essentially just saying “my way or the highway”.
And then I’m told to make the new community on the fediverse. But why would I want to? Essentially you’re saying this platform is just like reddit…so if I’m going to migrate, why would I stay with the same userbase thats small? Why not just go back to reddit? Sure it doesn’t solve the issue of power mods, but at least my new subreddit would have more users.
If you have issues with any mods on .world, please feel free to file a report and we will review it.
I don’t. It’s a hypothetical. But also meant to be asked about Lemmy as a whole. I’m asking more on a philosophical level, and less of a personal experience level.
dogpiling is much more likely here.
So much quicker tho, it took years to get as bad on reddit as just a few months here…
Well in my opinion you should be banned for pulling such shit.
Well in my opinion, you are already blocked for being such a shit.
When the infection reaches that stage, virulent white blooms erupt from the host and can corrupt neighboring communities entirely — from within.
All this can be prevented with moderators who give half a shit and admins who keep moderators in line.
We have neither of that here, so it’s only going to get worse.
I do not disagree in any way with that statement.
lemmy is reddit by osmosis
It creates a hostile environment which is explicitly against the rules.
Agreed! It’s very annoying when people create a hostile environment, like falsely accusing people of being forum sliders, Russian plants, going and following them around in every post just to downvote every post, not supporting their rights to vote for whoever they want, etc.
Let’s hope that Lemmy doesn’t get as toxic as Reddit with that BS!
I just made my lemmy experience less toxic by blocking you personally!
Good! I prefer that rather than you following me around just to “keep an eye on” me and calling me a forum slider every other comment. So see? Your day is already better and brighter. :)
