Mods having their own personal, perverted interpretation of the rules (or interpretation of your post)
No easy, transparent way to review their decisions.
When the mods (and now also the admins) are just regular users who created the community and made up the rules in the first place, you’ll always have this being an issue. This isn’t a platform issue. The issue existed since the dawn of time. It’s a human issue. People suck.
True, but humanity is not stuck there.
Power must not be concentrated too much on single persons. People need to share power.
There are ways to do it so much better than reddit did it. Read my second item: you need a way to review Mod’s decisions, and it must be an easy and transparent way.
Think about courts in real life: above a court, there is a higher court, and they can review the lower court’s decision.
If you’re an adult you should know they people with power do what they want and then use the rules to justify it. That’s why ruined are made vague in purpose. Si as not to constrain the powerful. For example in Reddit, every rule list have a catch all rule
That is a very Usamerican way of looking at the problem.
Oh come on can we keep the country flame wars off of lemmy for like at least another week
