They're protesting, yes. Or were the last I was there.
But that's going to be a hard thing to duplicate. None of the options for hosting such a thing has the automod and related capabilities that make that sub as smooth as it is. The mods there are pretty much the best on reddit, but they need the right tools to do it. Mod tools are very limited on lemmy, and not much better developed on the standard sites.
Amen. Shoutout to r/polandball for being another heavily-but-fairly moderated one.
At this point I'm really interested in getting involved, and modtools that would allow this is probably as good a place to start as any.
I am not sure they are the best. I got permabanned once for posting a link to removvedit (a website to show removed posts). They did not just delete the post they really permabanned. I double checked the rules and saw no mention of this being forbidden before posting.
I tried appealing but they did not want to cancel the ban because I dared criticise their moderation (I found permaban to be very extreme and I disagreed with their decision).
Since that day I can't help but wonder how many users have been permabanned for small reasons
