Something I learned the very hard way, against my will, is when you have a user who is seriously against the mods, and doesn’t really care about the sub, it’s often best to just ban them.
Normally, the max I give is a week or two, long enough for most to move on, but some people just get obsessed. Others will literally ask to be banned. Those catch a perma.
Not saying the LW admins are right, but moderation is harder than it looks on the outside. Also ban evasion is basically a feature of Lemmy, it’s so easy, and a lot do it.
It sucks, mods suck, being a mod sucks, everything sucks.
Main issue to the user is random defederations and slightly aggressive moderation.
Personally, I just moved to lemm.ee when I got banned for a week. I don’t even remember what for, just that I wanted to continue posting and commenting.
