Let’s get manual static user-defined multicommunities, and then let’s see for algorithm managed ones
https://piefed.social/ has “Topics” already
Accusing one of “power tripping”, in their own community, on the instance they presumably pay for, is not a rational accusation, since they definitionally cannot exist in a state of less power
Mods don’t pay for the instance, they aren’t in charge of any of it.
Some admins have strong policies against getting involved into moderation of communities, leaving potential power tripping mods unchecked.
What that community is trying to do is use the threat of public shaming to influence behavior. It’s how you get weak moderation and generic communities.
- A community is the most popular on a topic, it’s by far the most active community on that topic across the whole platform
- The single mod, who was just the first one to create the community when everyone came to Lemmy, starts to power trip
- The admin does not want to intervene
- What solution do the users have besides organizing on a community like !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
Three examples from that community, where other people can discuss the moderation, and see whether it’s power tripping or not.
right winger upset
Right wingers aren’t that numberous of Lemmy, but when this happens it gets quickly disqualified by the people commenting
anyone can create an instance or community
Enjoy your empty community nobody cares about because people post on the one where most of the people are, where the power tripping mod is operating
see completely automated commercial spam posts every few days.
Don’t get those accounts banned quite fast?
And we all know there’s already political agenda-pushers. Hell, Lemmy was created by some.
It’s community-dependent. Lemmy.ml communities are far from being the most popular on Lemmy: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month
I didn’t say you were power tripping.
I was mentioning that community as a way to handle power tripping mods.
It also works, !lotrmemes@midwest.social is being replaced by !lotrmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com after the admin started power tripping.
So it’s not just moral, it also has a real impact by allowing users to organize and switch communities
lemmy.world are moderated you have zero recourse
What is Sharkey? A fork of Misskey, which I also don’t know. I imagine Sharkey does much the same things as Lemmy? It is almost as large, and seems to have grown rather quickly.
Misskey and Sharkey are micro blogging platforms, more similar to Mastodon and Twitter rather than Lemmy.
Mastodon is much older than Lemmy. Not sure if they count Threads
On that regard, Beehaw have probably the most solid experience. Too bad that they kind of don’t want to update Lemmy anymore.
