The community getting the worse trolling and attacks would exacerbate their moderators which in turn could result in severe, expeditive moderation.
Do you feel this might be happening ?
Aside from a few MAGA shit lords in political forums, I haven’t really seen the hand of the moderators in action. Most of what I seen, people are rather chill and well behaved.
I’m extremely new here but I’ve gone through many communities and posts… and I’m blown away by the overall respect ppl are showing each other. Totally love that.
Like any forum this community has a lot of quirks and problems but overall I dig it here. At its core federated social media seems to be the best solution to a host of issues with the modern internet, imo.
There’s some jackass that makes a new account every day to post something racist in one of the Science Meme communities. Must be a full time job to moderate.
lol… look at my modlog. One mod disliked my comment, decided to ban me from multiple communities, all of which I haven’t even commented on, or at least to my knowledge I haven’t. Those kinds of, “mods” are bad for Lemmy, imo.
I’d say it’s pretty predictable and comes in waves as issues come up.
For example some people from exploding-heads posting rightwing content outside their instance before they were widely defederated.
Another example is when illegal content was being posted in large communities and Lemmy.world started blocking users from posting/commenting using a VPN.
Other than that it’s a lot of knowing your audience.
