That kinda bullshit should be considered unacceptable by anyone.
- person who is still using that website and thus must consider it acceptable enough
“this restaurant is really shitty, what fucking moron would eat here?” said a person while eating in said restaurant…
It may be really shitty but it’s the only restaurant that has Brazilian cake farts on the menu.
I got temp banned for reporting too many right-wingers who were advocating violence. It’s apparently “mod harassment.”
Then the API thing blew up and I gave up on that dumpster fire.
I’ve been banned from a community here on Lemmy because a mod didn’t like my voting, so don’t think Lemmy is immune.
Yeah I think this comes down to centralized moderation in general. The fediverse helps, but you’re still ultimately picking a server to have control over your identity and data and to police your behavior.
I don’t like twitter-likes, but blueskys version of moderation seems a bit better, although the bluesky corporation still has more influence than I’d like (even if it is technically avoidable).
Honestly, I think what would be best is a sort of “network of trust”, where you just see posts from friends of friends, and you explore the network by adding friends. It would eliminate bot spam immediately, and limit virality (which lowkey I think hurts people generally unless they’re making money off it being an influencer, which I also don’t like enabling) but makes discoverability harder. You’d need to find a way for ideas to spread easily while limiting any specific posts’ reach

the problem is that closes you in a bubble and severely hinders your ability to discover new people, topics, or points of view, which is what the network like lemmy is about, i think.
I got banned for “abusing the report function” from one instance.
Then I watched a mod war as several mods started banning/unbanning over the course of a few days.
I just made a new account on a different instance.
I guess reporting obvious transphobia was a hot topic about two years ago to some mods.
