MODERATORS
I guess I could have posed my question differently. I'm curious what I should do about this situation in general. Like maybe this time I'm wrong and the mod is just doing their best. Maybe another day mods start really fucking up and it's not just me noticing. What happens then? Do you message an admin or what?
In this situation (supposing fucking up means like outright harassing community members and otherwise), you'd reach out to the admins, yeah. If the instance you're interacting with has a support community you may try posting there, but tbh I think it'd be wisest to DM or contact the admins via whatever means they may recommend (e.g. email/Matrix/etc.). Here on Lemmy.world for instance, there's !support@lemmy.world, but they also suggest emailing info@lemmy.world.
I was replying in general - post it elsewhere, let the bad mods run the community into the ground.
You move to another community or make your own. Mods have created and manage the community. Unless they break the site's rules themselves, not sure why admins should interfere. (I mean unless they want to, admins own the instance so there's that too.)
Remember what happened at Reddit when the admins were trying to force mods to do they want?
