So I look in the modlog from time to time. There’s been some actions I’ve seen that I don’t agree with, but there is no way to see the context, so I’ve never spoke up. But today I saw something that concerned me. I’m just going to copy/paste the modlog so you see what I see.

I don’t know who this guy is, or who the mod is, but essentially this guy is getting banned for being liberal.

Or am I misreading the situation???

    Just leave the instance, not the fed. It can be seen to help grow it. You’re free to start your own instance and allow/disallow anyone for any reason. Remember that there isn’t 1 Lemmy. It’s not like reddit where there’s one site. It’s more like a whole shitton of very similar sites that overlap. So one rogue mod is messing up a News, just ban that instance and find another one.
