Gotta third this. I had actually forgotten how bad it was till this was mentioned because it never happens on Lemmy. Love that. I had a few posts removed for accidentally missing an obscure rule on Reddit. Do not miss.
Remember when .world admins banned users for saying i am gonna leave .world after they defederated with some db0 /c/'s and gave reason "let me help you " ? That is the one of the most power abusive thing i have ever seen.
Unfortunately, it still happens even here on Lemmy. I don’t think we see it as much because most communities here have far fewer mods than adjacent Reddit subs on average, but occasionally you’ll find a mod here who thinks they know better than their community and does whatever they feel like.
Serioulsy, Reddit has a moderation problem. Posts gets removed all the time by powertripping mods.

Oh lemmy does too
Rarely but modlog is 80% transparent, giving the users the chance to report instances of unfair treatment to respective admins.

Is there a problem with .world management?
Sometimes as i said mod issue is relevent here as well.
