Mod heavy people always talk about this supposedly huge influx of trolls, toxicity, spam that they have to moderate, but I just don't see it. I'm not sure that I have seen even a single post that obviously needed to be moderated this week. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right communities?
There are a few other commenters on this post that mention seeing mass spamming of slurs and a meme about killing drag performers. I see no reason to doubt the explanation given by the mods. Of course trolls would target beehaw, because that community made such a big deal of being nice and positive. It's just a shitty situation all around.
If more instances had down voting, we could self moderate in that way.
Enabling downvotes is specific to the instance's own communities, no?
i think they're anticipating it.
also, there's a false accusation there. i had to register my email with lemmy world
