"From where I’m standing, I can’t really much has changed unfortunately… which really sucks…

Lemmy.world has grown substantially meanwhile the moderation tools have not improved at all. All I can say about the moderation tools is that we now know that the tools suck more than they used to.

Here’s a list of moderation problems that we have discovered since then:

• If a Berson is reported on another instance, we never get the report.
• If a mod is banned from the community they mod, they can still take mod actions
• If you get site-banned from Beehaw while you are from another instance, you can still post on the community and people from that instance and kbin can see your posts
• People from other instances can’t know who if someone is an admin on the instance they’re interacting with
• People from other instances can’t see when we use the shield function to signal we’re talking “officially / as a mod”
• The modlog is not chronological
• The modlog breaks if you ban someone for more than 4 digit days.

A banned user’s description is still visible so if they link to a scat image in their description, it is still visible to moderators. Despite these newly known problems, there have been exactly no improvement whatsoever to the moderation tools. It is honestly unsettling and terrifying."

Context: Lemmyy has been on GitHub and in production at Lemmy.ml for over 4 years for the purposes of running and moderating a message forum / link aggregator. Beehaw has been online for over a year before the May 2023 Reddit influx.
