I was wondering if there were systems in place for users to report mods who are just ignoring the code of conduct and just abusing their power of moderator as a whole?
I’ve seen that we could get in touch via Mastodon, but I don’t have an account for that unfortunately and I was curious to know if there were other ways
Alright, to be honest that whole right-wing issue with MWoG was kind of on my backlog.
I remember seeing a few problematic threads from the main mod in the past, especially advocating to keep federation with exploding-heads:
@goat@sh.itjust.works, do you still stand by those comments?
I just had a look at the modlog (https://sh.itjust.works/modlog/25693), there seems to be indeed a few strange cases for “apologia”. Unfortutanely, we can’t see the comments in this cases.
I’ll edit my comment in the meantime to remove the mention to MWoG.
While we are discussing, what is your stance on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
Appreciate the clarity.
As for yeptb, I don’t have the same familiarity with it. From what I know, it rightly targets LW moderators so it’s less dedicated to an anti-Left drama circle, but it’s still a drama comm so I don’t personally care about it either way. Dbzer0 is something I critically support, they aren’t nearly as bad as other instances can be but frustratingly attract the “techie western anarchist” archetype that seems to never be able to engage honestly with Marxist theory. That said, it’s a mixed bag overall, a lot are good comrades as well.
That’s my 2 major cents there.
Thank you for your insight, have a good one!
