Don’t start with Bahaj, I remember a post some time ago where I saw lots of removed comments so out of curiosity I went through the modlog. People were being banned and comments removed for literally nothing (like, not a slur or x-phobia or anything, just a discussion about OPs topic), ban reasons for example were “you’re not the victim” lol. When I pointed it out in that thread, my comment got removed as well (but I graciously was allowed to not have my account banned). Of course you don’t want to have instagram-esque comments in Lemmy but power tripping mods still suck and the modlog is kinda useless if you cannot revoke decisions
I’ve noticed mods of some instances will lurk and ban users for comments that weren’t even on their instance.
Some of the mods on blahaj do that while using fake user accounts to sow approval.
It’s insane what patheticly small amount of power internet janitors will manage to trip on
