Not sure why this got removed from 196lemmy…blahaj.zone but it would be real nice if moderation on Lemmy gave you some sort of notification of what you did wrong. Like an automatic DM or something

    I don’t like the way moderation is handled in general. I keep posting things I think will be allowed that get removed and there is little explanation and no notification. You have to dig up your post in the modlog of that instance and the rules are pretty much up to the interpretation of the mods.

    For example, if you make a meme about “Eating the rich”, that’s fine. If you make a meme about abortion, ban hammer incoming.

      There’s a segment of the community that makes their delicate sensibilities everyone else’s problem. Unfortunately that segment contains the mods.

        That’s the nice thing about federation, you don’t have to interact. If you don’t like how a community is run, don’t participate in it, or even defederate.

          100% correct! I don’t enjoy the culture and moderation style there so I don’t usually participate. I’ll comment on something if it makes it into my all feed or something, I don’t actively avoid them either.

        It’s our instance and our communities. The mods represent us, or there would be feedback from our instance’s users saying they disagree with moderation.

            I mean, if you look at the modlogs, most bans have a reason And the reasons are things like xenophobia, transphobia but in more words, general troll vibes, etc. Not just because someone doesn’t like the mods

        “delicate sensibilities” is just a poorly disguised way of saying you don’t care about other people’s feelings, though

          I mean that the debate right? To what extent do we allow people’s feelings to dictate public behavior?

          I agree everyone should be respected, I support and am a part of the LGBT community, but some things just aren’t worth getting that offended over.

      Hey OP you are allowed to message a community mod and ask them if they are able to give insight about your posts being removed, by the way.

        Kinda just as annoying as digging through the modlog tho, yeah? With a coin flip on if they want to respond.

        Lemmy could use a consistent mod-to-user interface
