There is one complaint that I have about the mods across Lemmy, they seem to be hesitant to crack down on trolling. This has, in turn, made trolling easy thanks to the audience Lemmy attracted. Love the mods here, but when someone calls out a troll, maybe don’t remove the comment calling out the troll and leave the troll alone to continue trolling. Your contribution is actively negative if you do this.

Damn, I thought I was the only person who noticed this. It's just like being in elementary school all over again. The bullies run rampant, but any time anyone stands up to the bullies, they get in trouble while the adults (mods) ignore the various abuses the bully gets away with regularly.

Life never really changes, does it?

I've seen very little trolling, definitely not rampant for what I'm subbed to. I have seen a fair amount of people that become offended by silly stuff.

It’s mostly in the politics communities, for all the good that information does you. It’s incredibly blatant, though that doesn’t stop folks from biting the hook given the spectrum of people here.

I feel bad for anyone who mods a politics community. Those comment sections are insufferable.

They chose their torture… but yes, the comments they sift through are among the worst in the fediverse.

Zero faith that anyone moderating a politics community is doing it for any reason other than to have control of the discourse.

Just because Lemmy is a more cohesive unit where overall political leaning is concerned, doesn't mean that it's unfiltered and unbiased.
