Lazily crossing out bits of normal words in a clear bid to increase comment count/engagement metrics to boost a post is on a sharp and marked rise on Lemmy. Do we need to have a more active hand in removing these posts to keep discussions from getting polluted? It’s really quite tedious to see it happening so often.
I made a tool some time ago to respond quicker to reports which didn’t federate to the instance of my main account (lemmy.world). Previously I would have to check from multiple instances, and now I get a notification on my phone when a report is made within a couple of minutes. I've now added built-in ntfy.sh support.
I often get reports with just “Breaks Community Rules” and no additional context. This is because Voyager automatically sets the mandatory report reason as “Breaks Community Rules” without actually adding a reason. However, it's often not clear why a post would break those rules and which rule would be broken.
EDIT: Trying it again today, hoping it will work out before tonight when my old instance goes down. So far, it very much looks like yesterday is repeating itself. My personal guess is, the mod promotion doesn't properly reach lemmy.world for some reason, and then later, the other two instances sync with lemmy.world as the authority (after all the community is on there) and say (rightfully) "hey, the instance the comm is on doesn't have those accounts as mods, we better remove the privileges again!".
I made this tool some time ago to respond quicker to reports which didn't federate to the instance of my main account (lemmy.world). Previously I would have to check from multiple instances daily, and now I get a notification on my phone when a report is made within a couple of minutes. I cleaned it up a little and added some documentation in case anyone else is dealing with this issue or needs something like this.
I'm noticing a pattern starting to develop in the community I mod (just barely -- it's only happened 3 times so far) where a user that posts a fairly large amount of relevant content occasionally posts weird spam with a title of alternating letter nonsense (e.g. "zazaz" or "sdsdsds") and a link that goes to some random domain that serves nothing but a default 404 error (as in the domain is registered and there's a server responding to requests, but there's no content for it to serve).
I am a mod of two communities, and I have noticed that a mod can completely change the community, spare delete it. One wrong mod and the place is done.
Been awhile since I've felt inclined to extend some timeouts to anyone for light rule violations and was surprised to find that the only options for timeouts/temp bans appear to be for a day or more.
I would expect it to reduce the list of communities to just those I moderate, so just to !bunnies@lemmy.world here. Instead it looks just like the Local list of communities for me. It occurred to me I could be very wrong about what Moderator view is supposed to be. How does this work?
I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.
@jordanlund@lemmy.world is banning people on lemmy.world's largest communities for saying that Israel is like the 51st US state. He's declaring that this is "misinformation"
Hello mods, the current mod of !kanyewest@lemmy.world has been inactive for 9 months so I was thinking if I could mod it. I'm aware that me being currently banned from fediverse community for my rude tone in a post is not looking good right now and for that I apologies. And so I understand if you do not want to mod me, but since I'm the only poster there I thought I should ask anyway.
I mod !bunnies@lemmy.world. Was originally added with my now-dead @Elevator7009@kbin.run. I cannot login to that account and remove myself because kbin.run died. Now the community appears to have two same-name mods. It is not the biggest deal ever but I would like a way to boot my dead account from the mod team.
Hello, I would like to request to be added as a mod for !rva@lemmy.world. I don’t know if it’s best practice to keep the (inactive) original mod on, but the current mod hasn’t posted or commented since November of last year, nor have they responded to any of my DMs. I don’t have any grand plans, I just want to help monitor for spam, potentially find another co-moderator to carry the torch in case I get hit by a bus, and hopefully grow it into a more active community. I currently co-moderate two other small communities - !caps@lemmy.world and !asoiaf@lemmy.world. Thanks!
I tend to browse /All and by New on Lemmy. I went to respond on a thread on !vegan@lemmy.world to thank someone for a recipe that looked good, and found out I had been banned.
The moderators of !finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world have not logged in, posted or commented in 12 months. The community is still active and slowly gaining more subscribers. I've reached out to @JoeChio@lemmy.world the main moderator there, multiple times without a reply asking if they were willing to transfer, but I've yet to have a reply.
Just venting here. It's a very low traffic community for a sports team, with announcements from that team's own website posted to the community. And people have to come in and vote it down. 😐
I'm looking to start a community. there's currently a bug with lemm.ee and the way it interacts with Boost for lemmy, so I think I'll avoid it at least for now.
Mod has not touched their Lemmy account in 11 months. I would like to eventually hand it over to someone willing so long as they keep it about bunny rabbits, but as for now… I'm active and post a decent amount, including on !bunnies@lemmy.world, and have done so for awhile.
