I mod a disability related community (!chronicillness@lemmy.world). And I just ran into a massive ableist in the wild.
Can I ban them from the community preemptively.
You can do it with tesseract. I have an instance you can use to login to remote ones at https://tesseract.kitty.ly/ to do it.
I’m not familiar with tesseract, but if that’s the case then @FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone you also have the option of https://tes.lemmy.blahaj.zone/
Thanks ❤️ This was the working solution
It’s technically possible but I can’t find a way to do it through the default web UI. The Lemmy API supports it, and using it you can point blank ban a user by user ID and community ID, even if they have not posted. You probably have to use a third party client to do so and I don’t know which one since I don’t use any of them (I am a desktop only nerd). You could probably also hand-craft the appropriate POST request if you really wanted to, but that sounds like work.
And Lemmy.ml appears to have a page with a web form on it that exposes the API hook for their instance, for example. I don’t know if Lemmy.world does, but I can’t find it so I suspect they don’t.
I’m not a mod but… I have been banned from 7 different communities I never knew existed, much less commented in. Seems like it’s possible.
That can happen when instance banned
Yes, but there’s nothing in the modlog I could find, and I don’t seem to be banned from all their shitty communities. As far as I know I never had any interaction with them, or the instance.
They might be defederated from your instance. I thought the vegan theory club hated me personally, but they just hate my instance. Which I’m fine with. But I do miss the recipes.
Mods do similar bans all the time. How you mod your community is up to you.
I’m not asking whether I should do it, but if it’s physically possible in lemmy, since the only ban button I can find is in comments and posts n my community.
