!world mod breaks own community rules
(lemmy.cafe)
A community to discuss all things about modlogs!
All post must be about modlogs or moderation, and for all screenshots you need to specify which instances you're on.
Well its a push pull. Those who might mod are typically far more engaged, and its a thankless job. Its not something that can be easily automated and there is real important work around true bad faith actors trying to derail the entire platform/ fediverse.
Its also important to acknowledge that its a balancing act, and that frankly, I think if you are a mod for a community, maybe you should't be allowed to participate in discussions in that community?
Its like, if you are playing pitcher, you shouldn't also be calling balls and strikes. More broadly, its something we'll need to keep iterating on and thinking about as a fediverse; it goes beyond lemmy and extends to the entire principal of large scale social media.
I'd really like to see you say more about this here (understand you probably are not interested that's ok)

certainly a push pull. and lemmy is still quite limited, for example all mod comments are mod flaired with no option to post unflaired comments, which is a big problem for jordanlund and flyingsquid as they tend to have some spicy and verging on inappropriate takes in their own communities.
A polite way to say raging assholes, but I get they wield a lot of power...
Oh absolutely. I didn't bring up Lund because I couldn't remember their handle, but they are like, a comic book caricature of how "not" to be a mod.
