Where can we report a mod for abuse of power? (lemm.ee)

I was wondering if there were systems in place for users to report mods who are just ignoring the code of conduct and just abusing their power of moderator as a whole?

I've seen that we could get in touch via Mastodon, but I don't have an account for that unfortunately and I was curious to know if there were other ways

You're really demonstrating why it's easier to just remove comments like yours rather than try to disprove them when you're just going play Calvin Ball and argue in bad faith

“Another writer again agreed with all my generalities, but said that as an inveterate skeptic I have closed my mind to the truth. Most notably I have ignored the evidence for an Earth that is six thousand years old. Well, I haven’t ignored it; I considered the purported evidence and then rejected it. There is a difference, and this is a difference, we might say, between prejudice and postjudice. Prejudice is making a judgment before you have looked at the facts. Postjudice is making a judgment afterwards. Prejudice is terrible, in the sense that you commit injustices and you make serious mistakes. Postjudice is not terrible. You can’t be perfect of course; you may make mistakes also. But it is permissible to make a judgment after you have examined the evidence. In some circles it is even encouraged.”

Case in point

When I said:

I really did read the report. I don’t know all that much about Xinjiang, so it was informative for me to see it, so thank you.

And explained in some detail how I interpreted the report, I got in response:

The UN report you asked for and that I kindly, without thanks, provided, does so, as I have explained.

In the world I inhabit, people are allowed to make up their own minds about things. I explained how I took the report, and this person told me I took it wrong, and “explained” how was the correct way to take it, and demanded that I prove that there was a genocide going on, when I’d already said that after read the report I wasn’t really sure whether there was or not.

I’ve spent some time talking about this at this point, but ultimately, I am not interested in that type of interaction. I think enough words have been spent on this at this point. Have a good one.

You were, and are, being deliberately disingenuous.
