Sick of internet moderators and their ego trips. (lemm.ee)

I just want forums to chat about current events, argue about stupid fandoms, and bicker with internet trolls. Reddit used to be that, and I had hopes for Lemmy, but everything here is choked to death by over moderation that has nothing to do with keeping healthy communities. It's just thinly veiled echo chambers that don't want to admit what their community is about.

This is coming off a ban over disagreeing with vegans calling dietary disagreements the same as racism. The dude literally said different species were similar to humans having different races. I called that 1800s slave owning theory racism if I've ever seen it lmao.

I know people dont care for internet drama, I just wanted to rant. The internet of tomorrow fucking sucks.

Hello,

Any examples of communities where it happened? Sometimes you can escalate to the instance admins if the mods are power tripping

It was the news@lemmyworld instance.

I pinged one of the admins but no response.

Good luck with that. There are other news communities such as [email protected], Lemmy.zip tends to have pretty laid back moderation

Thanks for the recommendation. I look forward to participating in groups worth supporting.
