Just started Lemmying today. Have lots of questions. Someone mentioned mod logs, so I went down a rabbit hole reading mod logs. The only reason I left reddit was because many mods are dicks. But reading the logs, it seems mods ban people and censor like crazy here too. Isn’t Lemmy supposed to be more free and open? How is this different from Reddit? I honestly don’t understand.
The biggest problem with reddit mod abuse is they remove every post that isn’t a low effort repost. For example in r/blackmagicfuckery they once removed a 3d renderer someone made in Microsoft excel which was OC made by the person who posted it but allowed the blatantly reposted and uninteresting “scientists think it’s possible to run doom on 10 billion crabs” ass shit post.
