MODERATORS
To be fair anything is a step up over LW's antimoderation. They wanted to be reddit and I think they succeeded in the worst way.
Antimoderation seems to be the norm on Lemmy. For example, I was banned from Beehaw for being "pompous". I have narcissistic personality disorder, and being pompous is a symptom. It's a disability that interferes with my ability to display humility. I was being nice, kind, following the rules, doing what I was told, trying to resolve problems peacefully, and the admins said I was pompous and banned me. NPD isn't a disability when it comes to kindness, morals, ethics, or prosocial behaviour. But I can't turn being pompous off, any more than I can turn being weird off as an autistic person.
