Usually, my own thoughts are the only ones that matter to me. The exception is the rare occasion when I actually create a post or comment asking a question. That’s when I want to know about what you think. Otherwise, buzz off.
They’ll get around to it. What they need to get around to doing is telling people this. So many mods don’t know and a lot of their problems would be solved if they were informed. I totally figured it out by accident. Wherever and whenever, I just let other mods know this, because their problem might be because of a block list.
Not just lack of them. The system gives you mod privileges, but as soon as you become a mod, all the things you did as a free and happy user sort of cave in. For example, super cool how users can block instances with the new update. If you’re a mod, if you block an instance, you can’t see posts in the community you moderate from instances you blocked, I’m guessing. I’m guessing, but it makes perfect sense. If you block a user and you’re a mod, you can’t see posts from that user in the community you moderate. I figured this out and right now, am I free as a moderator to block people? Nope. If I want to do my job (which I totally volunteered for, by the way) I have to just let people harass me. For me, it’s no big, because whatever (as I shake my blonde pony tail back and forth). But, you know, they need some programmers to make it so you can be a good moderator and block people who harass you and still see their posts and comments in the community you moderate. Until then, you have to bend over and take it. It’s not so bad, though. I mean, it’s been a long time since my old block list came back to haunt my ass. However, it’s something that is missing that needs to be addressed. My recommendation (because I’ve been burnt as a mod) is to just never block anything. It’s sad. I mean, mods do the job because they want to, but they can’t ever be a user that can block shit when they’re being a user and not modding.

I’m so totally with you, buddy. Nice to find peeps on here who know about the Diablo.
All you have to do to test this theory out is try a Grand Theft Auto game or just go for Halo. Classic bullshit signing up for shit, having to have a secondary launcher installed. blah blah blah, yadda fucking yadda. Take your friggin’ pick. Rockstar, Microsoft, and now Blizzard. Shit’s pretty much all bought up, doesn’t mean the companies don’t act like they always have with their brands.
Oh, look. I’m alone in saying I didn’t buy it before, not buying it on Steam, either. Go suck it, Dibalo IV.
That’s weird. Something in your settings is not jiving with the rest.
So weird, but actually changing your desktop theme to “light mode” forces it to stick to “light mode.” If that doesn’t work, look for the setting in your web browser. For me, it was all about changing the setting for my desktop theme. When we’re all dead, I suppose you can set each web site to dark or light mode, at whim?
In the top right corner of the sidebar of your community you should see a trash can icon. Click on that. If you created the community you can delete it. I did this two or three months ago. No admin powers required.
LMAO me too!
The answer to the question is found in a Village People song.

It looks like a lot of mistakes were made in your case. I saw your posts asking about dialogue and such. I’m surprised no one has reached out to you because, speaking for myself, when I remove something and give an explanation in the modlog and I’m asked more questions by message, I always reply and explain myself. I’m sure someone will interact with you if you send an admin a message. I looked at the log and it looks like a script or other automated action is to blame. The admin actually caught the issue and tried to restore your posts. It also looks like it was a “suspected spam” type of deletion that was corrected. I understand your irritation. I wouldn’t want to be in your situation because you took lots of time to add content to a community you care about. However, it looks like one of those things we call an “honest mistake” that somebody on the admin team tried to take back. I haven’t seen a case like this, it’s very eye-catching to me, because it’s so obviously a mistake. To help make you feel better, I’ll tell you a little story. 2 years ago I spent about 2000 bucks on a Lenovo Legion 5 gaming laptop. I took it to a computer repair guy to clean the dust out of it on the inside and replace the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU. He used a forced air compressor to clean the fans and didn’t see that a loose wire on his work table was inadvertently in contact with one of the cooling fans. Snap! Broke the fan. He apologized personally to me (like, you know, face to face) and promised me he would replace the component he broke free of charge, plus do the whole entire job in front of me so I could see what he was doing. He fulfilled his promise. I must admit, it was quite boring to sit through watching him take out all the screws, etc. But he kept his word and did the right thing. The people that run lemmy world seem to me to be a lot more honest than dishonest and also very willing to admit they screwed up if they screwed up, just like my computer repair guy. I’m very certain that if you pm an admin the very admin responsible for the error will write to you personally. You were just unlucky. Somebody wrote a bad script or was tired and wasn’t thinking clearly. I think it says a lot about how someone attempted to restore your posts. Also, if the images attached to them can’t be recovered, is it too much work on your part to delete the empty restored posts and just make new posts with the images? Maybe in between posts, you can count to ten so it doesn’t look like spam or something? I think that would help make your community look nicer and more appealing to subscribers who like comic book art.
Good, I’m glad you wrote them and I hope you help them out with moderating the community. I might be able to see a more updated version of the modlog because I’m a moderator? Also, when I use Firefox to navigate to lemmy world on my phone I often have to reload the page because the browser loads what I had previously viewed. So, I think there could be something weird going on with web browser caches. Anyway, federation sometimes creates hiccups, also. What you can see from one instance might not be visible from another. *edit, just an afterthought. If you start helping out with moderating the linuxmemes community, my advice would be to remove any and all blocks from your settings. If you don’t, you might not be able to see (and remove) rule-breaking content if someone on your block list posts something to the community.
Yes. With VPN. And so many lessons learned after about how you didn’t have to do it, but you did it.
