Luckily, Lemmy is a place, where you can communicate with the actual human beings.

All the communities with power tripping mods here are either minor or have significant viable alternatives.

I wish that were true.

It is true. Did you even try?

Edit: why are you talking about being banned from 16 communities when the modlog only shows two bans? You wouldn’t be ban evading, would you?

I mean, you should have definitely been banned from the Seattle community for saying that Washington state deserved what was coming to it with ICE because they implemented gun control after mass shootings, but that didn’t happen to this account.

Heck you can make your own instance (as others have) and do what you want!

You mean there are more options then posting cringe feudposts daily begging your instances admins to defederate from instances instead of blocking them yourself?

Mods can’t manage more than 5 communities by design.

Really? But I see plenty of posts like this that show mods managing dozens of comms? lemmy.world/post/48545685

Maybe each instance can override the number?

Never underestimate just how corrupting it is giving marginalized people any semblance of power.

They are basically taking out their frustrations on the family cat except we’re the cat.

To everyone reading, you can check this person’s moderation history. Check out mine to, love that page!

That’s a feature. every instance gets to set and enforce their own rules. The users get to decide which communities (and their attendant rules and admins) they participate in. Humans don’t suddenly become more immune to the follies of power, but power is more distributed and (so far) are less likely to be captured by monied interests.

If you’re waiting for humans to suddenly stop falling for the temptation to abuse of power, I think you’ll be waiting a while. I think it’s a significant improvement on the centralized corporate model.
