Oblivious world @ Lemmy world mod
(lemmy.world)
Also outs your report publicly, nice !
You jest, but many mods do actually have this mindset. It’s unreal
CLM - sounds like @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world needs to understand the tools a bit more given how active they are.
FlyingSquid needs to be booted from everything they mod.
FlyingSquid is a pathetic human being, who seems to have little else in their life than banning anyone they disagree with. So, just a reddit mod. Question is, why would Lemmy have a chance to grow if it insists on having the same shitty structure as reddit, only with a fraction of a fraction of content that's available on reddit.
Turns out I've blocked this user already. Are they a mod?
Apparently so? They’re terminally online so it’s disappointing they don’t understand Lemmy better. Had it been almost any other user I wouldn’t have recognized the name at all.
They’re terminally online
It's funny you say that. I have them tagged exactly as that after some comment thread they were in. Since I tagged them, it's unbelievable how often posts and comments from them show up in my feed
And Lemmy has an issue with it's backend implementation which sometimes causes multiple copies of a comment being posted without the posters knowledge.
It then gets flagged as spam and the poster banned. Ask me how I know.
how do you know?
I searched for the issue when it happened to me and saw a bug report for it with the Lemmy devs confirming.
how do you know?
In my experience, mods in general have gotten extremely bad. Lemmy, reddit, basically all social media is being moderated without the least amount of professionality, standard or competency.
That's because professionality, standard and competency take time to foster and cost a lot to maintain.
Are we supposed to be elite professionals on our salaries of $0.00?
Yes. If you can't be professionell and have standards, don't do it.
Then YOU should do it! They provide a free service that you use, yeah some mods suck ass, or most whatever, but they have to ACTUALLY monitor some times a bunch of instances. Idk if its still an issue but imagine all the child porn and other SUPER hateful shit that has to be deleted with haste.
I dont mind squid, yeah he kinda seems like a dick some times, but we benefit from them being constantly online. So yeah they might have been a dick, whats the next move? Try to remove them where some other dickwad will just take their place, could be better but for mods its always going to be worse when a new mod gets all power tripping on people.
PTB, (or maybe just "clueless bastard"?): Ye publicly outing your report because they don't understand lemmy is pretty bad.
PTB. Squid is a prolific poster, but seems to take things personally very quickly.
If you're going to abuse your powers, you should do so by abstract principles, like whether or not a commenter likes pineapple on their pizza, not how they react towards you!
PTB, publicly outing reports and trying to intimidate them is not cool, if you want to discuss someone's reports with them, do it in their DMs.
Also here's a tip for any admin or mod wishing to discuss the report with someone. Quote the report you're addressing. I can't see my own reports, so if an admin or mod wanted to discuss the last reports I made, it's possible I would have to think really hard to remember what he was talking about, or just flat out not remember. Because I do make a lot of reports, unfortunately, as there is a lot of problematic content and users out there.
Edit: I did make an issue in the Lemmy GitHub requesting this feature, so if you agree that this could be useful I suggest you go express the desire for such a feature over there. I included being able to edit and delete reports, but if that's too much at least the ability to read my own reports I've sent.
Example of a DM that a Mod or admin could use to address reports with someone
Text from report
(can include multiple reports here with gaps between them as needed)
[content of their message addressing the report to the user]
Why is it whenever I notice a mod, or see anyone complain about a mod, it's always the exact same mod?
Are all Lemmy mods chill except this singular prickly tranch?
Squid can be a little quirky like that sometimes.
quirky
*holds up ban spork*
Sometimes? They are the only person I have ever blocked in all of my years on both reddit or lemmy. Such an odd combination of self importance, rage, entitlement and ego.
I'd almost forgotten about them until they showed up in a screenshot for being exactly how I remember.
I'm so glad I finally made an account so I can block that particular reddit-type user. Might have to bounce instances based on how this goes.
They allow dis- & misinformation on a news community and threaten you when you report even the most obvious Tankie propaganda, which is why I blocked it. Not the only dumb take I've seen from them.
The called out mod specifically is the worst culprit. I guarantee if their mod privileges were revoked 85% of the bad rep .world gets would vanish.
.world has a bad rep?
it's where most people flocked to during Da Great Reddit Exodus, so there's a lot of latent redditor behavior there. Anecdotally, my Lemmy experience has gotten significantly better after I started blocking every .world channel on sight.
Yeah, but I'm not convinced it's anyone in particular to blame. I think it's mostly because it's the biggest instance. That's just my take. I don't necessarily think the folks you're responding to would agree.
I think a lot of instances have a bad rep with users of at least one instance just because so many instances are ideologically similar.
That's what I believed it to be. Still better than .ml which is where I was before.

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.
