As a person who just left reddit due to being tired of reddit mods’ power tripping, I asked folks here what are their reasons behind migrating here from other forums (most likely reddit too). It seems like none of the folks who answered had complaints on reddit mods. Do folks here not feel the same about reddit mods as I do?

I heard Lemmy mods are volunteers too. How do they compare to reddit mods? Did Lemmy do anything to ensure no power abuse to happen?

    Bit long but well I had one reddit mod go absolutely balastic on me for saying I suspected a love Island contestant was coming across as gay to me. Wasn’t even malicious just thought it was strange he was on a dating show trying to land women.

    And by ballistic I mean I got banned from that sub got about a chapter of text saying I was the scum of the earth for even thinking such a thing.

    Then a day or so later I got other messages from other reddit admins banning me from the rest of reddit along with lots of other accusations that really didn’t make sense I can’t really remember them just thought that mods so furious he’s lying his ass off.

    To be clear I never once insulted the guy/contestant and only said he was giving me that impression and he really really was.

    Ultimately didnt really effect me I’ve always had a ton of alts and vpns I switch between but made me think that mod might have actually been out of his mind maybe a relation or something.

    Lemmy I haven’t had an issue so far and hopefully don’t.
