We all have genitals under our clothing, we just don’t think about it sometimes.
Speak for yourself!
(Also, nice summary)
This is fantastic information! The things I’m learning from one deleted post are remarkable!
The account that notified me is an unmonitored auto-mod account, which says “don’t reply - nobody will read it!”
I might actually post in [email protected] on this one. Thanks for the info.
Personally, I don’t support this retaliation.
Lemmy is young. Some of the consequences of a federated and distributed social media are still falling out, and we would be better off if the mods and owners of different federated instances work together - actually communicate - to resolve these issues instead of shutting each other down in a cold war scenario.
Federation NEEDS to happen and be (relatively) consistent in order for this great mess to work. “Hey, did you see that Lemmy post on [email protected]?” “Nah man, I’m on a different instance than you - it must have been blocked by our mods.” That is NOT going to make a good experience for users, and they’ll give up very quickly.
That’s a very good point. What may be a neutral (or biased for that matter) community ‘at home,’ can be invisibly skewed on another instance by their administrators. That’s actually a bit concerning.
Yeah, but from what the good folks in this thread have said, their automod deleted the post only on their instance. It’s untouched on lemmy.ca, and any others that federate with us.
(I think.)
Right, so a user on C could be a moderator for !community@instance_B, and could then remove it on instance B and it would federate; but if they deleted it only on instance C, it would not.
Am I reading that correctly?
I don’t think there’s a problem with posting it here. I didn’t do that initially because I wasn’t trying to draw attention to the post as much as I was trying to understand how it all worked.
And in answer to your question, no the automod is not a moderator on the community.
At least they had the decency of notifying you!
Absolutely. I was just looking for clarification of how it worked. This takes me back to the days of Usenet and .killfile editing.
That’s exactly what I was wondering. In this case, A and B are the same, and C is lemmy.world.
It’s kind of odd, but I think I like the system.
Thanks.
No.
No, I don’t think so.
Again?
