Discussions on any topic are encouraged but arguements are not welcome in this community. Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.

The posts here are not original content, the poster is not OP and doesn’t necessarily agree with or condone the views in the post. The poster is not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Censor any identifying info of private individuals in the posts. This includes surnames and social media handles.
  4. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  5. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum. If you wish to discuss how this community is run please comment on the stickied post so all meta conversations are in one place.
  6. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  7. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  8. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  9. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

Decline report

User throws a tantrum

Give a suspension

"Wow fuck these power tripping mods!"

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago

It’s like you’ve read my inbox…

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

This is why leaving Reddit was easy. This was like my first interaction ten years ago.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are users notified when their report is declined? Lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not technically, no. But I believe users on Reddit can be issued warnings if they abuse the report feature, which many of them do.

Not that I would know, having not been on Reddit since June.

But I believe users on Reddit can be issued warnings if they abuse the report feature

I got a warning for reporting the comment-reposting bots. Basically their reply was there's nothing to report because it's not against the rules.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never had one declined, and I was basically a mod of /r/accidentalswaatika with how much I reported rule violations.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don’t believe lemmy notifies users if their report is dismissed. I started off messaging users and telling them what action (of any) I was going to take. But there’s too many of them now so I either dismiss them, or delete the offending comment and give the person who violated the rules a warning.

You know who doesn't act like asshats when they get banned? Spammers. Even spammers are like "yeah I get it" lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Users always crying 😂

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 year ago

I have a youtube account and was once accused of stealing content from my own reddit account, which had identical usernames. Plus the reddit account had a link to the youtube channel and vice versa.

... but even tho it was a bit of a brain fart, I still appreciate that people are looking out for potential content thieves. I'm not even mad - I'd rather get a false positive every now and then instead of having my content stolen (again).

No idea why this is just a screenshot of a Word document but the source is this.

42_words was (is?) a user who ran a sub of the same name. Every post, including this one, had 42 words. So does this comment.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago (5 children)

The photo is literally a screenshot of that tweet, just not in dark mode. Why on earth would it be from a word document?! Or was that addition purely so you could make your comment 42 words long? Like this one is.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The average lemmy user probably forgets that light mode exists on twitter.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

i forget that twitter or whatever we call it now even exists

edit: im now calling it twix

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Don't tarnish the delicious name of Twix :<

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Hey, we only accept responses that are 42 words long in this thread. You best try again.

Hmm, wonder what else I can say to get this to 42 words. Wouldn't you know it, this is just enough to make it work.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

light what now? what's light?

Reminds me of the time I got into an argument on Twitter, and I asked someone for proof of something, and they sent me a screenshot of a Wordpad document. I said I was born in the afternoon, but not that afternoon.

I run a porn community and one of my posts got reported for being NSFW. On an NSFW community. On an NSFW instance. I don't know what they were expecting.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Probably, neither did they.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I mean, were they wrong?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's like the people who were outraged about Snoop Dogg smoking weed before the superbowl halftime show.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What instance? Asking for biological research

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Just click their profile lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fuck, why pregnant women...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

well, fuck is exactly why, according to my sex ed 101.

Now do the right thing and block yourself from the sub you are moderating.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funnily enough you can’t do that. You also can’t remove yourself as a mod if you created the community.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you can if there's other mods no?

since it's Reddit you can also just remove your account

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nope. Check out !badrealestate and you’ll see this account as mod and a few other SomeoneElse that are me. And there’s somebody29 which is an alt account I no longer use. I can’t remove it as mod as I used it to create the community. I believe the instance owner can remove it but they haven’t replied to me.

Image Transcription:

Black text on a white background reading:

"So somebody just explained to me how what I'd just posted to a subreddit wasn't suitable for that sub.

I replied that, as the creator, moderator and basically only contributor to said subreddit, I respectfully disagreed.

And he reported me.

To me."

[I am a human, if I’ve made a mistake please let me know. Please consider providing alt-text for ease of use. Thank you. 💜]

You are prolific with this. I see you as much as I used to see sprog and portarossa

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, I don't think I'm that prolific, but I appreciate it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, text as image is dumb. Why do people do that?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Easier to share a post with words on it than to copy paste things everywhere? Also makes context that much easier, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Personally I'd prefer a screenshot of a post than just a copy-paste of the post, easier to see the context, etc., and I'm also more aware that it's not the OP's take, but something they saw.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Reply with "Appropriate actions will been taken, thank you for your report" and sticky the post.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago
ur reported
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

He has a point though

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How'd things work out? Please don't leave us all hanging here my Lems
