Yeah I simply do not understand how you can be an ML user and have somehow missed the blatant abuse of moderation powers surrounding users like Cowbee.
You either just donât pay attention or you arenât on Lemmy much.

I became member of Lemmy.ml a couple of years ago when it was basically the only existing instance if I remember correctly. Iâve never seen any drama apart from posts like this that claim the admins suck or the users suck. Maybe those claims are even valid, but do they even affect the average user at all. Iâve considered changing instances even, but it seems rather a lot of effort for a lot of hot air to me.

True, I donât pay much attention to the mod log for example, I did not even know it was a thing. I regularly browse my communities and /r/all or whatever the main feet is called. I am here for content that interest me, no matter on what instance it is hosted. I thought that was the whole point of federation.

Youâre right, and I donât blame you for being a passive user.
Here, you can try it yourself â pay attention to users like Yogthos or Cowbee. 9 times out of 10 you end with threads of them monologuing to themselves against deleted comments.

Go look at the modlog.
You might be a member of .ml but are you active on .ml communities?
Iâve been banned for asking if someone would genuinely prefer living in North Korea over the hellhole that is London or New York.
Iâve been banned for linking to the Wikipedia page for âactually existing socialismâ because the page for it wasnât flattering.

I strongly suspect this is conservative persecution complex. Sometimes I wish these types of users would go back to Reddit, but Reddit is such a hellscape now I wouldnât even wish that on condescending .world users. Rather them stay here and bolster lemmy numbers, even with their shit takes included.
