Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

Fuck Reddit Mods. Well not literally, of course.

I say fuck Reddit and Lemmy too for not providing the tools to audit modderators. Like we need a removed post/comment/account graveyard where anyone can review and inspect what is being removed with the reasons as to why so that we can have assurance mods are not abusing. Like it is such a simple problem to solve , yet no one wants to implement and thus, here we are.

Aren't you just describing a modlog? The only annoying feature is that mod name is obscured so you have to jump a couple hoops to find who did what and whether they still are mods.

Oh yeah. That is sort of what I was envisioning. It is not really feature complete, but a step in the right direction. Thanks for that link. At least Lemmy is trying versus Reddit that lets it fester.

It used to have the mod names when I first got here. I don't know why they changed it.

Oh hey, yeah, been this way for at least 4 month since... you've permabanned me off people twitter 😂 Mind lifting that?

I will give you another chance. If I see a hint of faqing around or picking on users, you're out. I rarely permaban people but give them a break, so I must have been pretty sure. Don't make me regret this.
