And the rest:
And the thread in question:

So we need to have a long and serious talk about the authoritarian chucklefucks you all are allowing to dominate your platform, for this is an example of this flagrant bullshit someone else DMed me recommending I go to admins about, but we all know the admins are a group of Good Ole Boys who will do nothing but protect the mod. 🤦
So why is everyone putting up with this? Did we not leave Reddit to get away from power tripping scumbags? Do people not want a community ruled by the consent of its people? People were flagging shit based on bad faith arguing which last I checked falls under that sub’s first rule.
Oh, but telling a mod “no” is unacceptable. 🤦
We all need to come together and create an actual democratic platform because this is blatant authoritarianism and is not acceptable.
Oh, icing on the cake:
I can’t really say much more then that I disagree with your assessment that our rules are to lax. We do our best to balance giving communities the possibility to regulate themselves, and the need to regulate stuff on an instance level. The nice thing about lemmy is that if you don’t like the way we do stuff, you can always move to another community or even instance, in that way alone it’s better here than on reddit (just to make sure I’m understood correctly, that doesn’t mean we don’t want you to be here).
