I think memes also needs a couple more rules. Specifically I think the posts should be memes.

just a question: is moderating any different in lemmy than reddit? like can a moderator power trip here?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Its a good idea to have communities moderated by local users, in case there are any issues with federation or reports federating.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I posted a bunch in this community before it surged in June / July. I still comment moderately here, and read comment threads moderately.

Overall I'm not super active. I would just watch my regular feed and comment threads like I currently do, and if I see something uncivil, I'll intervene. So if I am chosen, it would be ideal to have other mods as well, as I may not be enough on my own.

I’ll take one for the team, bang through some privileges and I’ll start moderating the shit out of this community.

The hell u talkin' 'bout, boyeee?

Just out of curiosity, what's the advantage to them having their account on the same Instance as the community?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

there are bugs on moderating communities on other instances. like mode actions do not propagate to federated instances if done from a different instance.

but don't take my word for it, i don't have a source.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Less likely to accidentally loose access due to defederation? 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yea that makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Federation shenanigans would be my guess. If you were on instance B and moderating instance A then instance B admins would have control of your account instead of instance A admins. So if for some reason instance B admins decide to ban that user then they are prevented from moderating for instance A.
