this is my favorite post there, deeply unserious person CW: cognitohazard
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Thats what they call the purge comment and delete comment option that mods have
I love how they get huffy about getting chain-banned from 20 communities (that have similar mod staffs) when they're caught either being chauvinist, racist, or genocidal. Like, a mod's not allowed to watch you transgress then think "yeah I don't want you in any community I have purview over"? That shit used to be POINT OF COURSE for larger bbforums that had multiple mods for different parts of the forum.
Also im sure that chain-bans are just lemmy.ml version of a site ban and they are never permanent bans at max i seen 1 month. They are just complaining about losing their treats for a month really
It’s a beta feature atm iirc, but won’t be exclusive to .ml
👆 v0.19.4 was released yesterday, so more & more instances will have it. It’s a bit of a hack; IIUC there’s a longer term solution in the works.
A lot of instances are upgrading right now so expect it to be standard soon.
There’s a spectre haunting the Lemmyverse, the spectre of 0.19.4
It’s a somewhat hacky feature of v0.19.4, which lemmy.ml has been running pre-releases of for the last few weeks.
Oops I accidentally a 1.
You lost 'lost' too. You ok?
What's a purge?
If somebody posts something illegal (like CSAM), you don't want to simply deactivate it and leave it available for 'review' in the mod log. You need the ability to ensure it is not only hidden, but completely and totally deleted in memory, on the disk, in the database, on any caches / CDNs, etc.
Oh okay. And then do you write a report to the government or something? Sorry I haven't modded a forum since I was like 9
Requirement to do so depends on two different factors: Hosting country and site owner country, both of which claim jurisdiction.
Mods have the ability to mass remove someone posts and comments from a comm when they ban them
I honestly figured they had some actual evidence not just 0 understanding of the software
Giving those walking septic tanks WAY too much credit
