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?
Lemmy mods seem almost non-existent. There aren’t as many, and even the most dedicated aren’t on all the time and every once in a while some seriously bad shit (like CSAM) get posted and don’t get taken care of for hours.
The extra rules aside from the general “don’t be a dick or post illegal stuff” things are generally more lax anyway; like the content itself doesn’t have to fit in the most rigid box imaginable to the point where nobody but friends of the mods and the mods themselves can post anything that doesn’t get auto mod deleted.
As to the character of the people themselves: I’ve interacted with a lot of the mods, even those in the biggest communities here, and only like 2 I wouldn’t like to do so again because of their attitudes and stances.
