Where to report mod abuse? (self.support)

So I just had a mod out a harassment report I had made to the very people that have been harassing me, connect it with my username, and be dismissively mocking about it.

This is absolutely the kind of reddit behavior I left there to avoid.

Of course all of you will tell me "But itsn't against any rules", and I counter: It creates a hostile environment which is explicitly against the rules.

I've searched and scoured and the only thing I've found is to post to this community. That feels strange as this isn't a technical issue.

Is there anything to be done about this or do I just leave Lemmy too?

Yeah, more like that other site every day...

A few weeks ago I asked a question.

"What checks and balances are in place to make mods HERE not abuse their power?"

The answer I got was "if you don't like a mod, you can create your own community and mod it yourself".

Which to me is a very bad solution. It's essentially just saying "my way or the highway".

And then I'm told to make the new community on the fediverse. But why would I want to? Essentially you're saying this platform is just like reddit.......so if I'm going to migrate, why would I stay with the same userbase thats small? Why not just go back to reddit? Sure it doesn't solve the issue of power mods, but at least my new subreddit would have more users.

If you have issues with any mods on .world, please feel free to file a report and we will review it.

I don't. It's a hypothetical. But also meant to be asked about Lemmy as a whole. I'm asking more on a philosophical level, and less of a personal experience level.
