thank you! free speech for everyone!
There’s still lots of moderation on Lemmy, but thankfully it’s all public. The lemmy.world modlog can be found here https://lemmy.world/modlog.
Theres still lots of moderation on Lemmy*.world* go to a smaller instance more aligned with anarchist free speech and you can say all the no-no edgelord things.
I havent seen a lot happen if a mod goes off the deep end though. If a system can be broken in a way, its inevitable it will be. This place wil be captured by the same special interests reddit has, I’d bet money on it. But, I’ll enjoy it till then.
Oh, I mean, power tripping moderators has always been a thing, even in my phpBB forum days when I was a teenager. I’m sure some of us older than I will have similar stories about it happening on certain BBSes. But the user base and therefore impact of that moderation going to shit was much more limited in most cases.
