Anarchy is very cool, until someone has the wrong opinion.

That’s why I rigorously review the modlog. Unlike Reddit or other social media, there is a public record of everything every mod does.

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.

Make an alternate community on another instance without abusive admins.

Lemmy/Piefed is far more resistant to bad actor community capture by a capricious moderator. Instance admins are usually far closer to the day-to-day operations and thus have their pulse on their communities in a way that reddit admins do not. Secondly, the federative nature of it means that any community can be replicated elsewhere.
