Wrote in the text that I almost got today wrong again, while still getting it wrong.

The amount of Americans visiting Australia who assume people here would want to live in America instead given the option was astounding to me.

I actively go thru my watch history and purge things I think will negatively impact my algo.

Alternatively, you can look into convenient methods of compressing your bitrate, before attempting to upload.

Was a little slow to load, but worked on desktop.

Oh no, I didn't really shop there but they had one in my very rural town I grew up in.

It's a shame, I suppose Kmart was too competitive at the budget price-point.

Ps. Sorry if this is none of my business

You're free to speak about it, you can also disagree if you feel differently about anything.

When you click in the app, I believe it redirects you to your local instance where it is already removed.

The comments I saw were fairly serious directed attacks towards another user, even if they were in the heat of the moment.

There was enough to understand why the user deleted their account in the moment, I had to consider permaban before settling with a tempban on just this occasion.

They are currently still public on another instance;

Thank you for that, I have taken a look at them with greater context of what was being discussed in yesterday's thread.

We hadn't dealt with this kind of issue from regulars that I have seen from my notifications or the modlog until now, I would have preferred Baku had reported your comments so that I could have actioned them when I came online at midnight.

Part of the issue may have been my lack of participation in the daily discussions themselves, so I haven't been as viewable as I should be, but I have been checking daily for months. It's important that we avoid letting these kinds of interpersonal issues feel like they aren't going to be actioned by the mods.

Your comments directed towards Baku appear to be targeted in a way that are absolutely against the community rules, the subject matter is allowed as we haven't barred specific topics from the daily, only the manner in which users talk to each other. I have yet to issue just a temporary band so far on this platform, so I am learning as I go.

Considering that part of this issue is the lack of established rules, penalties and more importantly the lack of assurance that I will action issues in due time, this isn't a permanent ban. You will be welcome back in 72hrs, knowing that I can't guarantee not issuing a permanent ban if an issue like this where to occur by yourself or another user in the future.

Today was a weird day for everyone, come back in 3 days and let's get back to normal appropriate behaviour. I will be looking at where I went wrong and hopefully have a community post in how we can avoid this in the future by the time you come back.

Edit3: I have spoken to both Starchy & Baku in DM's, Baku didn't intend for the previous threads to go down and they are currently still publicly viewable here;

Edit4: It's looking like it may take 30 days for federated instance to scrap deleted account content, hopefully that is the case, and we can archive the daily's posted by Baku's account before they are completely gone.

It is looking like they deleted their account and comments, without seeing their comments I don't have a full picture of whether they said anything that would warrant a banning of future Baku accounts.

I haven't seen anything so far that was by you and targeted harassment toward other users.

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

That appears the case, I have access to deleted threads minus just Baku's comments.
