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

Tumblr used to let you edit other people's comments. That's close, right?

No way that's so funny

I can delete other people's comments on my tumblr posts

This is good because I am under fucking attack

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

BlueSky does I think. Perhaps not exactly, but it lets you remove quotes people made on your posts, or something like that.

Me seeing β€œMore replies” under my comment that won’t unfold because it’s probably someone I blocked:

See? Bigotry, evil queer-phobic cishets, unnecessarily evil blogs?

Don't insult potatoes like that!

Is there a way to "shadow delete" a comment or shadow ban a person on lemmy so that they do not know their bigotry is being silenced?

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm not sure from a mod or admin point of view (while I am a mod in one community as a backup, I've not done any moderating myself), but I know that if you block a person on your own account, the only indication they'd have is that you don't reply.

From what I understand it's actually quite a difficult issue to address on the fediverse, since content is mirrored on so many instances, deleting or blocking it on one would have very little to no impact on other instances, and obviously ban evasion is much harder to spot, since anyone can open as many accounts on as many instances as they like. I would imagine it makes it really hard to stay on top of shit that comes in, especially the worst things like abusive content containing children.

i'm not convinced that shadow bans are actually beneficial
