I was wondering if there were systems in place for users to report mods who are just ignoring the code of conduct and just abusing their power of moderator as a whole?

I’ve seen that we could get in touch via Mastodon, but I don’t have an account for that unfortunately and I was curious to know if there were other ways

      Yes that is specifically what I’m talking about, there wasn’t criticism of China, there was “oog think China bad because ( insert thing the UN found no evidence of that literally only the US ever said there was evidence of and they didn’t present that evidence ).”

          Banning someone from an instance also bans them from communities they participate in. Or at least, it used to.

            That’s probably the core of the issue. People probably don’t mind being banned from [email protected] or [email protected] for such statements, it’s not like it’s a surprise based on the political stance of the instance.

            Being banned from Linux and keyboard communities seems unrelated. Which is why people are recreating those communities elsewhere.

              If instances are like separate Reddits then it is just like getting a siteban.

              Also something being “politics” does not mean it should entitle you to other spaces. This is how reactionaries self-victimize to excuse, say, transphobia.

                If instances are like separate Reddits then it is just like getting a siteban.

                Indeed, and like Reddit, people are leaving for other sites, or in this case instances

                  Sure, some people are leaving, but most bans are usually for a few days (like OP), and furthermore it’s better to not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, anticommunism, etc, which in turn supports an increase in people. I’d rather not chase growth if it was an influx of right-wingers, racists, homophobes, etc.

          Read the rules, if you disagree with the rules in a community, don’t participate, make your own. It’s hardly power tripping if you actively seek to violate rules clearly laid out.
