I'm already seeing lemmy mods starting to act exactly like reddit mods so it's not that ill-fitting.
We shouldn't be surprised that the reddit-like website made as an alternative to reddit becomes more like reddit as more redditors leave reddit for reddit alternatives.
did i say reddit enough yet? reddit.
Mods acting like mods everywhere else in response to users acting like users everywhere else.
No, we shouldn’t be surprised when we think we reinvented the wheel only to act surprised that it’s still round and rolls.
I do like that moderation log feature on at least one lemmy instance. It allows you to see what the mods are doing and helps avoid communities with bad moderators. Or at least it would if you could search by community.
If you go to the community itself first you can then go to the modlog for just that community. But it would be easier if that filtering was already in the main instance modlog. I think the frontpage modlog even gives some logs from other federated instances but I might have hallucinated that.
