Unless there is some kind of cooldown time (but even then), mods will constantly change...
Group A votes Mod B off and places Mod A there. Group B doesn't like that and votes Mod A off and places Mod B (or a similar) back.
The longer that goes on, the more users (and even Mods) will get annoyed and leave that sub. There will probably the be originalsub, splitsubA, splitsubB. All of these subs will be weaker than the originalsub was before.
So basically the same what we see in current politics. Instead of finding a solution together, it just creates larger gaps between the members.
It feels less like democracy but more like temporary dictatorship that oscillates between opinions.
A better solution would be to have multiple mods with different opinions finding consensus together. But that's easier said than done...
This is potentially a very silly question but it also occurs to me that this may be far more complicated than first glance. It could even vary by instance. Are reports sent only to the moderators of the given community or admins as well? Maybe even the admins of the troublemaker's instance?
Was für deutschsprachige YT-Kanäle könnt Ihr so empfehlen? Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass es da viele gute Inhalte gibt, die für mich im Verborgenen liegen....
In special I’m hoping for specialised instances about some subjects that I enjoy. I like the Lemmy instance but stuff like anime and conlanging “feels” off-topic here.
Do you mean for subscribing to the communities of these new instances, or would you completely switch to that instance (create a new account there)?
I've noticed some lags/asyncronity with non-home instance content. I guess it would make sense to be home wherever is the most and best fitting communities. But that would also mean leaving behind the stuff of the current account.

How does moderation actually work?

OC Congratulations, you are being federated! Please do not resist.
Does anyone have experience with domain auctions?
Hi, I hope this is the right community. I want to get a domain name for my own Lemmy instance. The one I have in mind is on auction on sedo.com....

Wär doch e gueti Glägeheit gsi öppis besser z mache als uf Reddit, nid?
Users from before the current wave of Reddit refugees, how do you feel about the incoming monsoon of refugees?
I imagine there's excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too....
Coming from reddit, Lemmy isn't great
I appreciate the decentralized architecture and the privacy that comes with it, but it's organization isn't great....
