MODERATORS

I had to look up what platform let's you delete other people's comments. Is this an Instagram joke?
Mod privilege is being able to erase bigots with a click of a button
Also why good moderation is so important
I agree, moderation is important.
How do we keep moderators accountable, so the system continues to function? Is there someone checking them?
The mod log is entirely visible for anyone to view. Anyone can see who we ban and why, comments we remove and why. Posts have been made in the past about mod action that were effective.
One thing I don't understand yet is what kind of appeal system is intended on Lemmy if one doesn't want to resort to ban evasion.
Do DMs to instance admins still go through?
I believe so??? Ada's pretty active on 196 either way. Some people use the report feature on mod comments to get in contact with other mods. If I, for example, was being unfair, reporting me might alert other mods to what I'm doing. I wouldn't touch a report with me as the subject, but maybe that's just the good ol autism sensitivity of justice.
Update for DenverCoder9: private messages through Lemmy are not delivered to instance admins when banned site-wide. Best recourse seem to be other means of communication then.
I don't know, don't think it matters, just substitute delete for block and it works.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Me on reddit, when op deletes his post and I want to answer to a comment....
That's fair!
I got excited for a minute and checked if we could do that on Lemmy lol
Yeah, that prospect would get me excited too lol
It wouldn't be nice if everyone coule delete everyone's comments and posts, but you can block someone which deletes them from your life and that's about the same!
Well I was thinking just deleting comments off your own posts. People would probably be less likely to waste their time being nasty. I agree it isn't worth the drawbacks though when you can just block- my block list is over 200 lol
Ooh that would be swell!
Tumblr used to let you edit other people's comments. That's close, right?
No way that's so funny
Poor John Green. That was wild
I can delete other people's comments on my tumblr posts
This is good because I am under fucking attack
BlueSky does I think. Perhaps not exactly, but it lets you remove quotes people made on your posts, or something like that.
No, it's a secret Jira ad
I thought it was about mods.
Lmao that perspective actually makes it even funnier
Can replace it with block button and the meme still works tbh
Honestly I thought it was a "delete my own shitpost" type meme.
I don't do a whole of of this whole "social media" thing
YouTube? perhaps?
