I was wondering if there were systems in place for users to report mods who are just ignoring the code of conduct and just abusing their power of moderator as a whole?

I've seen that we could get in touch via Mastodon, but I don't have an account for that unfortunately and I was curious to know if there were other ways

Some advice: plenty of your comment interaction seems politically driven. I'd suggest engaging less. Don't fall into the trap of political and ideological debate with people and waste your days away changing no one's mind, or at least the way you're doing it.

I'm not surprised you got banned for your comments.

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Also I would not recommend having an account on lemmy.ml if this is your concern, the moderators here are rather famous for doing this at the drop of a hat. I guess you could have your account on .ml and mostly interact with communities on other instances, but why?

Looking at the modlog, they picked up a 5 day ban from memes@lemmy.ml for a comment that pretty much directly attacks .ml as being "tankie".

"Every now and then, the .ml side of this community comes through with these inaccurate tankle memes. You win some, you lose some I guess"

That's the whole comment I wrote. If you are going to report it, at least do it correctly please.

Why are you going on an instance with lots of Marxists just to attack the userbase? Masochism? To try to pick up a ban so you can make a drama post like this?

[-] gravityowl@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago

Why indeed. Iโ€™d never create an account over there, I agree with you.

Sadly every user on Lemmy learned or will learn at their expense that interacting with most users from ml, hexbear and the likes, brings nothing positive on most occasions.

I had hoped that maybe something was done since last time I checked, but I guess I was wrong ๐Ÿ˜…

libs experiencing the horror of interacting with people outside their bubble will never stop being hilarious

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

Believe it or not, more people are Marxists than ever. Those instances aren't going away any time soon.

Authoritarians gonna authoritarian.

Also, especially with young people, calling them out for bad behavior like this usually leads to them just doubling down on the bad behavior because they'll feel that their honor is insulted by the criticism and so they have to reject it. Something like that. I definitely wouldn't hold your breath for a change.

In smaller instances, you can easily reach the Admin and are much more likely to get a response. Also, the moderation is likely done completely by the Admin and not by a less-invested person who might be enjoying the power and control of being a moderator.

From my experience, about 80% of opened reports are self-resolvable and don't need Admins or moderators and is just someone seeing the world through a biased lens, so everything they don't believe becomes misinformation, and they start opening reports for vengeance. When many of these keep coming, it wears Admins and moderators down, and they are more likely to just ban than respond. This fatigue is not something a small instance Admin experiences. They give more thought to the situation.

I was banned on mastodon . social because someone who disagreed with me perfectly crafted a complaint (they apparently had a lot of experience doing this) that took what I wrote out of context to seem like I was saying something else, and .social banned me instantly and denied the appeal. The claim was total fiction. They didn't care. They had a stack of reports to get through. I had no hope of reaching an Admin.

I never used a large instance again.

Just something, maybe, to think about.

It really depends on the instance. For lemmy.world, you can reach the admins by a couple of different email addresses, but I'm not sure how that works for, say, lemm.ee which is your instance, or lemmy.ml which is where you posted this.

dm an admin and report the problematic behaviour.
