Is there such a thing as shadow banning submissions, comments, or users on Lemmy?
I’m having trouble seeing a couple of comments that I know were there at some points, one of them is my own and I haven’t deleted it. So it got me wondering, is shadow banning a thing here.
Where can modlogs be found?
Personally I dislike shadow banning/hiding/deleting, but I’m never intentionally an ass hole - even though I’m sure there are occasional moments where it comes across that way. I wonder how many people are motivated enough to create new accounts to circumvent bans/content deletion.
There is a link in the bottom of the sidebar for each community.
I agree, it can be frustrating, however I have also seen moderation mail before, and holy shit some people just get so fucking angry about mod actions and just want to harass the mod endlessly. It kind of makes sense to reduce users ability to do that in response.
Thanks.
Turns out in this specific occasion that it wasn’t removed/hidden; so it must be a bug with Sync for Lemmy.
Some mod actions can be shockingly moronic, so I can also understand why some people get annoyed. I suppose some people must get next level angry to harass mods though.
There’s also a link in your profile so you can see all the moderation actions taken against you anywhere.
Dude being a mod on Reddit was the worst sometimes. I got doxxed twice by disgruntled users “who totally did nothing wrong.”
People really don’t seem to understand what a thankless job moderating is. You’re everyone’s enemy even when you’re doing your best.
We aren’t all saints and certainly have bad days but christ some people really think we are mustache twirling villains lol
Hell some people see you as the enemy because you’re doing your best
I was a mod a long time ago for a small stretch of time on a different site, I since left and deleted that account due to the toxicity of it
Managing mod mail on reddit sucked so bad
Shadowbanning I don’t like except in the clear case of bots. But hiding/deleting comments I’ve always considered absolutely fair game.
