When having to admit their fault the moderator started looking for arbitrary reasons to ban me. Such as not using the exact terminology of the Amnesty report. Which does not call it genocide.


The moderator is also watching user votes, and calling out people not voting with him.

    Users who continue to expose votes after being warned may get banned

    Depends on the instance I think.

    They are held accountable, by the mods & admins.

    So correct me if I’m wrong but regular mods can’t see it and only admins.

    So this is just an anecdotal impression but when lemvotes came online, a few mods and users got called out for their zionist voting. After that, the amount of pro Israel propaganda being upvoted, posted and commented went down by quite a bit.

    It’s too much to ask of admins imo, going through downvotes. More importantly, I’d rather the bad actors have potentially any one of us to fear instead of a just a handful of already too busy admins.

      Regular mods can see since a few months now. I didn’t use to be the case.

      Of course. I can only speak to lemmy.ml. Other instance admins are welcome to add their 2¢.

      Until recently that was true, but I think mods can now see the votes in their communities.

      Could be. I think at least one instance has built tooling/automation around it. The thing is, dealing with users getting into arguments/fights/vendettas over votes may also be a lot to ask of admins.
