It is going to be a learning experience for mods and admins on Lemmy. It took years for Reddit to cobble together a governance structure and, even then, it was really bad. I haven’t seen the devs take any stance on building tools to help and we’ve seen a lot of cases where mod abuse have been defended by admins.

This seems to be a first stab at admins taking a proactive approach to mod abuse. It is a bad policy, but at least they seem like they are trying to do something.
