and what happens when a mod or admin abuses their power? If the answer is only people whine about it, all you have is a minor step in the right direction and not an actual solution.

I think we should test this theory a little more.

Nah, the complaints get deleted faster than the wrong-think. The point is you aren’t given enough to ‘notice’ when the hammer comes down as it does in many communities here.

lol

If you’re losing the battle of wisdom against a toddler, perhaps there is a reason to listen to that toddler…

You seem to not understand how anarchy works. It is not, “no rules and everyone is equal amd does what they want”. It’s, “nobody is given de facto authority over others with which they can cudgel their compatriots”. Not having de facto, unquestionable authority is a long ways away from, “there are no rules for society”.

No, you are. You are just in denial about it.

They did. Why are you tone policing? You’re doing exactly what they’re saying is bad…

How do you see overly heavy opinion based moderation if you’re never the target of it? You don’t. You just see communities that are weirdly same-think. Though I bet you’d just dismiss it as a consequence of the fediverse already self-selecting for a certain type, but that is wrong.

There is bad moderation all over the place, but you don’t see it, because many mods/admins prefer to ban and delete than to let the vote system do its job.

Anarchism is not about zero enforcement of rules. Especially wise ones like don’t dittle kids…
