    The problem is you don’t use the discord so explaining issues with the current discord and mod shenanigans can’t really help since you don’t have the context of the system

    Doesn't this lend weight to the fact discord is a shit platform?

    If you can't explain the problem to anyone that doesn't have direct involvement within the discord then discord is a seriously shit platform and there is something emotional and closely linked to the platform involved in these drama outbursts that always occur on discord itself.

    There is a specific problem with the platform that inflates and creates these issues.

    "You wouldn't understand unless you were there" makes it impossible to have any conversation about the issue.

        So stop using discord and use lemmy? Discord sucks. Why are we talking about the discord on lemmy?

        I can't speak for the other mods but I mod c/anime and I can tell you for sure that I went through 2 interviews, visits to all the communities I run, multiple questionnaires and had to show I have a boatload of experience before I got the comm. I don't know about the others though of course and I have no powers outside of my comm, but with my anecdotal experience I have to say that vetting is absolutely there.
