Yeah, it must be the numerous different "nutty" mods! It's definitely not you that's the common denominator here!
Are you saying there aren't a metric fuckton of power-tripping nutjobs in self-appointed positions of authority in the Fediverse?
Bootlicker will always side with authority by default, it is a human condition and one of the mean reasons why we are getting fucked. The harder normie bootlicks, the harder daddy owner fucks us. It starts with basic shit like this but goes all the way up.
Lemmy really needs an app with a de-moderation feature, like Uneddit did for Reddit.
The modlog is great, but it relies on the user going out and looking for power-tripping mods. A better option would be a client app that parses an instance's mod log and restores and highlights moderated comments.
Censorship might be necessary on today's platforms, but it is still an evil. Censors need to be closely monitored by the community.
