"why don't you respond to criticism"

[–] random@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

depends, if you are banning me for using slurs I wouldn't think you're in an echo chamber, even if I was the biggest bigot on this planet, however, people on lemmy have banned me for stating my opinions like "I don't want to live in an autocracy" or "kamala is still better than trump"

I had to look up what platform let's you delete other people's comments. Is this an Instagram joke?

Mod privilege is being able to erase bigots with a click of a button

Also why good moderation is so important

I don't know, don't think it matters, just substitute delete for block and it works.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tumblr used to let you edit other people's comments. That's close, right?

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

No way that's so funny

BlueSky does I think. Perhaps not exactly, but it lets you remove quotes people made on your posts, or something like that.

No, it's a secret Jira ad

Me seeing “More replies” under my comment that won’t unfold because it’s probably someone I blocked:

See? Bigotry, evil queer-phobic cishets, unnecessarily evil blogs?

Is there a way to "shadow delete" a comment or shadow ban a person on lemmy so that they do not know their bigotry is being silenced?

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm not sure from a mod or admin point of view (while I am a mod in one community as a backup, I've not done any moderating myself), but I know that if you block a person on your own account, the only indication they'd have is that you don't reply.

From what I understand it's actually quite a difficult issue to address on the fediverse, since content is mirrored on so many instances, deleting or blocking it on one would have very little to no impact on other instances, and obviously ban evasion is much harder to spot, since anyone can open as many accounts on as many instances as they like. I would imagine it makes it really hard to stay on top of shit that comes in, especially the worst things like abusive content containing children.

i'm not convinced that shadow bans are actually beneficial

Unfunny double layer joke on joke but your meme is pretty

unspecified MtF person: oh you silly billy, unspecified straight onlooker: haven't heard that in a long time, bigot: absolute scream of rage.

this came into my head when some random time i heard silly billy being used and I've been wanting to get it out ever since.
