Just an example of a former mod calling it: lemmy.world/comment/11175826
Who cares?
Oh no. They deleted your comment. How will the world going on without your knowledge available to the masses?
So, anyway…
Lemmy world mods still power creeping

Jesus. I can’t read that entire thread.
I’m not commenting to be a dick here, but I’m speaking for myself also when I say this, but take a break from lemmy. Trust me, you will FEEL a difference 💯
Do it for a week. Honestly I have to sometimes, even though our instance yes, it does allow for politics but equally from both sides of the political isle
We aren’t a political instance, we’re not interested in that. Like, at all… I’m mentioning politics in regards to this post because that’s what their problem is. The extremist shit.
Listen, listen to me before your drive yourself crazy with lemmy bullshit
Very few ppl understand that lemmy is just a hobby for fun. t’s not the next Twitter or Facebook it never will be. Ever. Ever ever ever.
Why? And if that’s not obvious to you, then you’re part of the problem.
This is what happens when ppl think open source is the answer to cooperations. There’s no difference other then instead of one rich guy calling the shots, you now have any and all, mentally unstable political extremists on zillions of servers, moding every community and admining every instance, shutting you out. How tf is that any better.?
Point: Some ppl have serious issues and use lemmy as an escape for some semblance of control of their lives. Don’t waste your precious mentally energy on them. Come, take my hand, and let’s touch grass together…

I had to block /politics and /world news for that exact reason. It was just going way far off the rails for what I was looking for in Lemmy.

What are some of your interests? I come to socialize and shit post.
I hear you. But man, am I crazy? Maybe it’s because I have a lot of accounts but damb, I’m blocking to no end.
It’s like the political communities are getting created everyday they pop up new ones even duplicates of others. It’s constant

Get off of .world if you want to see a difference.
The size of that instance almost guarantees these kinds of dynamics will emerge, especially on a website run by volunteers and paid for by donations.
Stop complaining to other users; go be the change you wish to see.

I have no problem with people that can’t handle not advocating for violence or being uncivil having their comments deleted. I’ve been an asshole a few times on bad days and had comments removed, but I accept that sometimes I can be out of pocket.
I have seen zero compelling evidence of mod abuse in the linked thread.

Probably bc you’re an instance admin who does all the crazy non stop banning. And this is your alt account 🤣

I don’t care that much. And I don’t need to care that much, because of the nature of the system.
The Threadiverse is a federated system. There isn’t one community. There isn’t one instance. There’s a marketplace of communities out there, and they compete.
If you don’t like how community A is being run, then head over to community B. If you don’t like how instance A is being run, then head over to instance B. Over time, I expect people to head where things are working well, and away from where they aren’t.
I’m not personally really enthusiastic about, say, lemmygrad as an instance. But…I don’t need to run around getting upset about how things are being done there, because I can just avoid it.

Exactly this.
People cry about mod abuse but don’t bother to be part of the change. This is the exact same thing as with reddit.
Just move away from those who annoy / disturb you. You’re not forced to be on lemmy.world.
