Also outs your report publicly, nice !
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]
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.
I’ve been threatened/banned for calling out propaganda too
You should reach out to lemmy.world’s admins about the situation, explain the problem to them and they might be able to help with it. I’d recommend doing the same thing any time an issue comes up around this particular mod. Eventually they’ll get enough complaints and he’ll be given the boot from those communities by the administration.
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.
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?
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.
As someone who implement a Lemmy client it might be a client side problem. If the server is struggling you will time out when sending the comment. If the client side has any sort of retry logic it will send the comment again. This can cause the comment to be posted multiple times. There might be a bug on the server as well but I know for sure it can be caused by the client.
They should do what Reddit does and by default make a 5 second rate limit of sending posts and comments, the first one gets accepted, the next ones get rejected within the 5 second ratelimit.
Another popular solution I see is to have the client generate a UUID when posting. Then the server can very easily tell if a request is a duplicate.
I’ve seen this concept called idempotency tokens. I thought it was common but a quick search didn’t find any articles on it so maybe the name is not that common.
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.
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
Squid can be a little quirky like that sometimes.
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.
quirky
*holds up ban spork*
Is that person a mod? I blocked them and my lemmy experience has been way better.
Same. Literally the only person I’ve blocked. I also made sure to leave every community they mod. Certainly a vibe I could do without.
This is exactly what I did when I saw them abuse their powers.
The only way to vote on bad mods is not to use their communities where they have power
Silence! You dare question a mod of my abilities? Banned!
You jest, but many mods do actually have this mindset. It’s unreal
All Mods Are Bastards
