How does the community remove a bad mod here? (feddit.org)

For transparency: Mod log for me.

I don't know the way anyone can complain about the mods.

Things to keep in mind:

Communities does not allow meta posts.
Complaining to mods themselves and expecting a change is dumb, no mod will remove themselve and resign.

I started to feel gradually that mods here have way more control over Reddit mods.

There is not really a modmail here and even the mod log does not show who exactly removed the post, it only display that a mod did this action, so the community members can't actually identify the bad mod if any. (I massege mods here and they answer, but it does not seem productive to not know who removed the post in a straight forward way)

I had never been banned on Reddit, but I had been banned here multiple times.

In my subjective opinion, some community mods abuse their position in multiple ways or are not suitable to be mods.

So , I really want to know the answer here. How does the community remove a bad mod here?

Comparing the mod lists of three communities you were banned from, it was either little cow, or you were banned by two different people.

You've been here for only 18 days, and you have two pages of mod logs about you. You have had a LOT of your posts removed for rules violations, and your only bans lasted only a few days at most. I don't think this is a power-trip. I think you just keep breaking the rules.

In the case of an actual power-tripping mod, maybe message a different mod, or the instance admin. If the admin's power-tripping too, just use a different instance.

OP, this belongs in a support community (see rule 5). Locking.

I'm not sure what the best course of action is but it is worrying behavior. Those are the biggest news communities. There are also two people who are moderators on both instance, if you were banned from both by the same person, that is quite problematic.
