I'm on lemmy.ml
I have posted here several times, some posts reaching 500+ upvotes
Can enforce rules

Just out of curiosity, what's the advantage to them having their account on the same Instance as the community?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Less likely to accidentally loose access due to defederation? 🤷‍♂️

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

there are bugs on moderating communities on other instances. like mode actions do not propagate to federated instances if done from a different instance.

but don't take my word for it, i don't have a source.

I think memes also needs a couple more rules. Specifically I think the posts should be memes.

Hey @[email protected] I would love to moderate!

Why limit it to lemmy.ml?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Its a good idea to have communities moderated by local users, in case there are any issues with federation or reports federating.

just a question: is moderating any different in lemmy than reddit? like can a moderator power trip here?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Mod actions are of the shadow type, as in users don't get to know if they're blocked/hidden/etc unless they have a hunch and go check the modlog.

Modlog is more transparent but the former reason makes power tripping / shaping a community to the whims of a mod easy.

I don't know if there're any reporting tools to inform instance admins if a mod is going rogue

It's a pity that it is limited to lemmy.ml :/
