Can anecdotally say that I've pretty much stopped using Lemmy completely at this point because of mods than somehow feel even worse than Reddit's. Only shitposting because I've got a 5 day weekend and fuckall to do
I think this is a good example of the "cost" associated with how people decide to mod.
Were a very, very small community. There are maybe in the low thousand to upper hundreds engaged users across the entire fediverse.
And social media engagement always follows a log distribution, so for every 10,000 scrolling past, maybe 100 comment and 1 posts.
Preventing people from posting/ disrupting engagement because you've got a little fiefdom and an axe to grind is a great way to kill lemmy as a platform in the crib.
Agreed. Ozma's posts were some of the most active I ever saw. It doesn't matter what's being posted (within reason), if people are consistently engaging with it: you leave it alone. Even Reddit mods seem to understand this most times.
Thanks! I just know which headlines/articles will get the most engagement from all sides. Before I left Reddit I used to be on the front page multiple times a week. I do hope Biden or whoever they replace him with wins but I'm still going to voice my criticism of him.
Unfortunately, that particular mod often abuses their power. I had to block them, their childishness was so bad.
My offense? I called one of their posts pedantic... (Which it was)
