    I modded about 30 sub’s, mostly niche subs just to keep the spam and hate speech at a minimum. Apparently I was the “landed gentry”. Haven’t been back in almost 2 years now. Fuck spez.

      Then you were doing it right. Thank you for your service. But there were lots of bad mods passing out rando-bans left and right.

        I usually broke the other way on modding and let people get away with shit for far too long. In fact, if they were arguing with me directly, I let them get away with behaviour that I’d immediately ban them for if they were pulling it on other users. I didn’t want to be accused of using my banhammer just to win arguments.

        I find Lemmy’s modding to be way more aggressive and arbitrary than most of what I ever saw on Reddit, unfortunately. Certainly more agressive than I would do myself.
