Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

"Just stay away* will only bring it in faster. You need resistance

It's like when Mom says "just ignore the bullies" a strategy that bullies thrive on because they can bully and know you'll walk away

Pick a smaller, focused website and focus on Local. Then you can ignore what's going on elsewhere.

Lemmy isn't a community, it's a technology. And ActivityPub is madw with the goal of letting anyone and everyone use it and participate. Just like HTTP. Griping because "the wrong kind of people are showing up" is the kind of thing the wrong kind of people do.

You don't get to build your gate in the public square.

What about when the mod is the bully?

Post passive aggressive notes as often as you can, make big honking stinkin posts screaming about the injustice, and eventually make a new community on a different instance, I guess. Just from observational experience.

Yes this is the most efficient and foolproof method for dealing with bully mods, can confirm.
