just a question: is moderating any different in lemmy than reddit? like can a moderator power trip here?
Mod actions are of the shadow type, as in users don't get to know if they're blocked/hidden/etc unless they have a hunch and go check the modlog.
Modlog is more transparent but the former reason makes power tripping / shaping a community to the whims of a mod easy.
I don't know if there're any reporting tools to inform instance admins if a mod is going rogue
