What are your thoughts on reddit mods? How are Lemmy mods like compared to them? (lemmy.world)

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?

The thing is "mods" is not a monolith, not on reddit, and not on lemmy.

I saw a LOT of trash moderation on Reddit, and I've seen some on Lemmy as well. There's good moderation as well.

I think what makes Lemmy different is a) it's smaller so bad behavior is harder to hide. b) there are layers of administration.

If the mods on lemmy are a problem, take it to the Admins of the instance, let them decide. Admins are a problem? Join a new instance and defederate from the problem instance.

Reddit never had a model like that. The Admins were largely absent and really only took action against mods following the black out.

Mod logs being public helps as well.

Where can I go to see them?

Top right bar, at the bottom, for me. There's a green Modlog button.
