Yes ha ha ha! ENSHITIFY!!!

Nope it was the case, because I had a huge surge of downvotes and now they’re gone. That only happens when inauthentic activity is removed. It’s not like reddit where an AI goes across every post and automatically removes brigading, the admins have to manually get involved meaning it takes awhile for someone downvoting from alternate accounts to get addressed. That and the fact that the federated nature of the platform makes creating alternate accounts solely for the sake of vote manipulation extremely easy.

The kind of people who would join this place are also the kind that would block ads.

The blinding majority have moved on to more modern expressions, it’s just the holdovers who didn’t get the memo and the creeps at this point.

OK you know and are doing it on purpose. Gross.

EDIT: Yep and here comes the pedo brigade, right on time.

Bit Shift Variations in C minor

Daily reminder that the troll face used “ra-e rodent” as a reference and is a symbol used by pedophile rings to identify each other.

Pizza parties and appreciate-mints, though.

The hilarious irony about this is that I actually made a theoretical framework for how such a drive could be possible and then was shocked as shit when I found out their solution was magical time travelling particles. Like even they knew it was complete and utter bullshit.

For fuck sake you may as well come out as a pedophile if you’re going to be posting shit like this.

It’s really not hard to tell.

Mods: Get every report in the community and can temp/perm ban you from the community and/or remove the comment

Admins (community’s instance and reported user’s instance) Can do anything a moderator can, and can ban you from their instance (bans you from all communities on that instance as well) When this happens, you will essentially be shadowbanned from every user on that instance, which in some cases can be a blessing as some instances have some VERY harassing users so they will no longer be able to bother you any more after the ban.

Admins (your instance) They have access to the server your account is on, so they can do anything to you. Being banned from your own instance is like having your account seized. Your content will stay up (if they choose not to delete it) and you won’t be able to log in. You won’t be given a chance to appeal so you’re basically locked out.

Admins (other instances) They won’t get your report but if they see your comment and find it particularly distasteful, they may choose to ban you from their instance, and you can bet your bottom dollar they won’t be accepting your request if you ever try to sign up there.

They go to every party, so if you see rule-breaking content, even if it’s from a moderator (ESPECIALLY if it’s from a moderator) then report it. Reports are the only communication that certain parties get into how things are being run, so it can really kickstart diplomacy efforts if someone, a community, or an instance is being openly abusive. Exception: some apps will allow you to choose where your reports go.

100% they’re planning on pocketing the tips.

Up + Down. That way you can’t use trolling/harassment to massage the perception of a post.

Put it this way: Do you want the nazis who downvote everything left of Hitler to have any sway over a conversation?

People are allowed to make mistakes every now and then. I would draw the line at open mod abuse such as using their rank to intimidate or just flat out removing people who they disagree with. Still a pretty crappy showing that I hope they grow from, but like, give them that chance.

Please no I hate hashtags with a passion.

Man, lemmy will just let anyone moderate.
