Hey folks!
This is a quick notice about a change to our moderation policy.
We have had a policy on lemm.ee for administration and federation nearly since the very beginning. This policy has also always included a section about moderator responsibilities. Today, we have made two changes to this policy:
- The policy has been renamed to Policy for administration, moderation, federation - this is to make it clear that the policy is also relevant for mods
- We have introduced a new responsibility for moderators, they must “Ensure that they only provide accurate and clear reasons for mod actions”.
The reason for the addition is that mod log actions federate out to other instances, and are more or less permanent (due to how Lemmy and federation works right now). This means that users do not really currently have any easy way to clarify or defend themselves against inaccurate accusations in the mod log.
As always, I am very grateful to all mods for your efforts in building awesome communities on lemm.ee. I hope you can understand why this new policy is necessary - I do not want to make your lives more difficult, the goal is to just try and reduce any mod log related misunderstandings in the future.
Thank you for reading and have a nice day!
I told you they did a bad job doxxing me. You didn’t fact check shit. You just tried to take a peek at someone else’s private information. There are privacy-respecting methods of fact checking that would actually work in this situation, and you didn’t use them.
One thing I did see in your modlog was a lot of removals and bans for toxicity and I’m starting to understand why.
