MODERATORS
 

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

Some advice: plenty of your comment interaction seems politically driven. I'd suggest engaging less. Don't fall into the trap of political and ideological debate with people and waste your days away changing no one's mind, or at least the way you're doing it.

I'm not surprised you got banned for your comments.

Just create one account per comment. Lemmy can't anything as it was designed for the convenience of moderators.

Wwit until lemmy falls and hope the successor makes moderation a crowd effort and a subscriotion service

dm an admin and report the problematic behaviour.

In smaller instances, you can easily reach the Admin and are much more likely to get a response. Also, the moderation is likely done completely by the Admin and not by a less-invested person who might be enjoying the power and control of being a moderator.

From my experience, about 80% of opened reports are self-resolvable and don't need Admins or moderators and is just someone seeing the world through a biased lens, so everything they don't believe becomes misinformation, and they start opening reports for vengeance. When many of these keep coming, it wears Admins and moderators down, and they are more likely to just ban than respond. This fatigue is not something a small instance Admin experiences. They give more thought to the situation.

I was banned on mastodon . social because someone who disagreed with me perfectly crafted a complaint (they apparently had a lot of experience doing this) that took what I wrote out of context to seem like I was saying something else, and .social banned me instantly and denied the appeal. The claim was total fiction. They didn't care. They had a stack of reports to get through. I had no hope of reaching an Admin.

I never used a large instance again.

Just something, maybe, to think about.

The few users who have created accounts in my instance are thrilled with the direct support they get from me and my co-admin. I imagine that their original instance was something of a mill where they were treated like nuisances. It's one of the things I love about being an admin, is the ability to protect people who would otherwise be ignored
