So for some fucktastically stupid reason, the automod replies to removed messages provides a link that only returns a server error.
Secondly, the reply message does not even tell you the community it was posted in.
How the FUCK are we supposed to know what we did wrong if we can’t see it?
Its the end point for mods.
Even ones that start out good.
You can only do the job for so long before you become jaded, indifferent, mad with power, etc.
Power corrupts and all that.
I’d like to hope that it’s possible for some people to hold out and moderate effectively, such as by self reflection to make sure
isn’t happening. Then again, I didn’t moderate the massive subs on Reddit so maybe it gets harder with those.
Having a mod code of conduct / best practices would help avoid some of these issues on Lemmy
Mod code of conduct only works when someone above the mods gives a fuck about enforcing it.
and as we saw with reddit, the only time admins stepped in to deal with mods was…when subreddits were protesting reddits own bullshit.
You could limit the damage by at least preventing people from amassing ridiculous amounts of power by becoming moderators on hundreds/thousands of subsites.
Sure, but for the time being the admins on Lemmy are actively trying to set up something better than Reddit. Without the profit incentive, that might continue to happen
I agree about the power mods problem
Still have admins and mods. Cant reinvent the wheel, all you’ll end up doing is creating a more convoluted and obtuse wheel.
