Let us know in the comments if you’re able to help mod. Requirements:

  • You have to be on the lemmy.ml instance
  • Should have a history of activity here
  • Able to enforce the rules, with temp bans or permabans if necessary.

      Mod actions are of the shadow type, as in users don’t get to know if they’re blocked/hidden/etc unless they have a hunch and go check the modlog.

      Modlog is more transparent but the former reason makes power tripping / shaping a community to the whims of a mod easy.

      I don’t know if there’re any reporting tools to inform instance admins if a mod is going rogue

      to add to the other comment, I think mods can still power trip here. Though I think there’s one thing protecting from that: the instance admins can reassign the mods. And though it is technically the same as reddit, in reality your instance admins are way more responsive that Reddit admins.
