(Lemmy) transparency problem: users not signaled of actions against them
(Lemmy) transparency problem: users not signaled of actions against them
A moderator deleted one of my posts for being off topic. I received no notification. It’s mere chance that I realized my post was silently removed, at which point I checked to modlog where a reason was given.
Users can filter sitewide modlogs on their own account to see the actions against them (great!) -- but there should also be a notification.
You're viewing a single thread.
Just to add to the topic of transparency: I've noticed that lemmy appears to censor the B word, but there's no mods checking the content (from what I can tell), it just auto changes the word to say "removed."
Oddly enough, the B word seems to be the only word (swear or otherwise) that's censored in such a way.
Fuck shit ass cock dick
removed (B word)
Genuinely can't tell if this is in error, or if there's someone higher in the chain that got called a removed and is taking it really personally.
Mods here, similar to on Reddit, seem to be the type that makes being a mod their whole world. They go on righteous crusades for their various causes quite often.
It is a stark reminder that the Lemmy janitors have the same delusions of power that the Reddit janitors had. With the massive population increase caused by an activity that made a lot of Reddit mods angry, you have a lot of that type here.
It is what it is. I just tend to ignore votes and censoring. Or more laugh at it.
Of my two dogs, the bitch is my favorite.
FWIW, I started a thread about the B word in the slur filter here:

Most importantly, I think authors should be notified when their message is edited by someone other than the author.
