  • I think it definitely can still happen, as there are no definitive ways totally prevent it. But imho the chances are less likely because the nature of fediverse where the communities are scattered (which some people feel is a weak point of fediverse) act as cushion to minimize the impact. for example i think it’s highly unlikely a mod in programming.dev community is also a a mod in sh.itjust.works.

    But let’s just say what if that guy managed to apply as mod in both place? it’s also quite unlikely if sh.itjust.works admin agree with the mod’s abusive action that programming.dev’s admin would think the same way.


  • In both cases you still have the same problem

    I think for lemmy, or fediverse in general the biggest benefit is for people who owns their own instance. if let say i (from my own instance) post into some other lemmy art instance and the same thing as reddit r/art happened there and i got banned and a mod removed all my posts there. in the case of r/art and Hayden Clay, Hayden would have lost ALL his previous posts, without the ability to get it back. Even his previously wildly popular posts are nuked, along with his other portfolio. but for lemmy solo instance owners, yes the posts are removed from the community where they were banned from, but on their own instance it’s still there along with all the history, if you go back to your instance you can still get the post. From there you can just move on to other community. If a user asked for your portfolio you can just give a link back to those previous post at the very least.
