MODERATORS
I did some testing with the latest code, main GItHub....
If you are a non-admin moderator of a community and you block a user in your community, their post is indeed hidden (filtered, not even sent) when you load the list of new posts for that community.
I am working on getting my testing code neat enough so that these kind of behaviors are documented and changes to them trigger testing alterations.
Thank you for that! I don’t understand all of those terms but I got the gist! For what my opinion is worth, I think blocking a user as a mod should only block them from communities you don’t moderate. Or moderators should be advised to create separate mod/user accounts.
Do you know what happens if someone I’ve previously blocked, then posts to a community I moderate? I was a user before I was a mod and blocked unpleasant people. Could they be making posts or commenting on threads within my communities and I’m not even seeing them? That really interferes with my ability to mod.
correct. When you view the list of posts in the community, that person's posts are not sent to you by lemmy_server. So they would fly under your moderation radar.
Damn it. Alt account here I come. Thanks again!
