    I remember when we had forums, it was ok to be upset sometimes.

    I remember mods and admins that would ban you because you gently disagreed with something they said.

    There wasn’t a moderation team – it was one weird guy that got off on power.

      Yes, but since you had many forums, you could move to one with more relaxed admins. They had no dependency. On Lemmy, instances are connected and there is pressure to have the same moderation rules or you get defederated because your instance is now creating discussions that leads to reporting of users on other instances.
