Where can we report a mod for abuse of power? (lemm.ee)

I was wondering if there were systems in place for users to report mods who are just ignoring the code of conduct and just abusing their power of moderator as a whole?

I've seen that we could get in touch via Mastodon, but I don't have an account for that unfortunately and I was curious to know if there were other ways

If instances are like separate Reddits then it is just like getting a siteban.

Also something being "politics" does not mean it should entitle you to other spaces. This is how reactionaries self-victimize to excuse, say, transphobia.

Indeed, and like Reddit, people are leaving for other sites, or in this case instances

Sounds like a good thing given the reasons they are "leaving".

Sure, some people are leaving, but most bans are usually for a few days (like OP), and furthermore it's better to not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, anticommunism, etc, which in turn supports an increase in people. I'd rather not chase growth if it was an influx of right-wingers, racists, homophobes, etc.
