Are moderators allowed to ban people and list a fake reason? This conservative has defamed me by listing the reason as homophobia. Kinda funny coming from a right winger lol. Is this acceptable on lemm.ee?

I agree that using the mod log to attack other users with inaccurate mod action reasons is not really justifiable.
We now have some additional guidance about this here under the moderator responsibilities section:
I will make a separate announcement post about this as well shortly.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of mod log federation on Lemmy, it’s not really possible to retroactively change mod action reasons currently. I am sorry about that. If this does end up causing problems for you in the future, you could point people to this thread for context.
