I agree, moderation is important.
How do we keep moderators accountable, so the system continues to function? Is there someone checking them?
The mod log is entirely visible for anyone to view. Anyone can see who we ban and why, comments we remove and why. Posts have been made in the past about mod action that were effective.
One thing I don't understand yet is what kind of appeal system is intended on Lemmy if one doesn't want to resort to ban evasion.
Do DMs to instance admins still go through?
I believe so??? Ada's pretty active on 196 either way. Some people use the report feature on mod comments to get in contact with other mods. If I, for example, was being unfair, reporting me might alert other mods to what I'm doing. I wouldn't touch a report with me as the subject, but maybe that's just the good ol autism sensitivity of justice.
Update for DenverCoder9: private messages through Lemmy are not delivered to instance admins when banned site-wide. Best recourse seem to be other means of communication then.
