As a person who just left reddit due to being tired of reddit mods’ power tripping, I asked folks here what are their reasons behind migrating here from other forums (most likely reddit too). It seems like none of the folks who answered had complaints on reddit mods. Do folks here not feel the same about reddit mods as I do?

I heard Lemmy mods are volunteers too. How do they compare to reddit mods? Did Lemmy do anything to ensure no power abuse to happen?

    I’ve been seeing a lot more comments removed by mods lately, especially on [email protected]. These don’t appear to be harassing comments either, just something the mod disagrees with and wants to silence. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to see which mod is the one on a power trip though the Voyager app.

      Yep. I tested the censorship water there the other day with a mildly anti-authoritarian comment. Comments deleted and banned from the topic.
