I used to see this on Reddit, I’m disappointed this behaviour is also on Lemmy.
Users collecting mod status on multiple communities, and then using that power to mass-ban a single user from a bunch of communities.
Modlog show how incredibly trigger happy some mods can be. Minor transgressions, deserving to have their comment removed at least, but then banned from unrelated communities as a consequence. This will only get worse as users become supermods.
Edit: It seems this is how an instance ban is reported, by banning from any communities the user has participated in. Then perhaps it isn’t all as bad as it seems.
Pretty sure it was because that user said jizz
edit: just to clarify, i meant that it was because of the strict no nsfw rule that is in place, not that i necessarily agree with it
I know which user you’re talking about, however this screenshot was a different user a few hours before. Seems like it happens way more often than I realised.
yeah that’s basically how an instance ban works. since you’re on a differrent instance with different rules, you might not be dealing with the same issues.
you can check out powertrippinbastards for examples of mod power uses that you might not agree with, and if ever you disagree with how your instance handles modding, you can change it.
