To be clear, not talking about this community, obviously 😛.
What’s the point of writing down rules, if mods just do what they want? But I suppose that’s the risk you take when you call someone a liar in a small community; they might be a mod.
Edit: I’m not trying to say that mods suck, they perform a useful and often thankless job. Just that it can be difficult for small communities to get a healthy number of good mods, which can become a problem.
Seriously this moderation is way worse than I expect coming from Discord communities. Moderation is handled by a team, a reason for mod action is given and recorded, appeals are possible rules are clear and constantly developing for even more clarity. Mods are seen in the community all the time and are well-liked and have a great deal of social intelligence.
You just described the exact opposite of how it´s done on lemmy.world 😂
Lmao yea
