Many thanks!!!

Damn dude, you’ll never make Reddit-type mod if you keep up with all this reasonable communication and “un-banning” stuff.

Where’s all the brutality and lack of GAF about talking to people?

Oh wait…

That’s why we’re on Lemmy, not Reddit.

Keep up the good work.

I tried to make a community but couldn’t even get the little avatar logos to upload. Can’t imagine how I’d get on with moderation if there’s no instructions.

Thank you for the reply. When I try to upvote a post on DADJOKES, I am told that I am banned.

?!?!

You were banned 12 days ago, no reason listed, no expiration listed. Sole mod in the community is @[email protected]

The beauty of modlogs, although it's a bit shitty that no reason was listed imo

Thank you for that info. Like I said. I’ve never had any interaction with the community except maybe upvoting posts.

I wonder if they are banning me for some perceived slight in another community.

Very ‘Reddit’ behaviour.

I’m sorry I didn’t list a reason for the ban. It was your comment that “I had married someone who stayed hot and wasn't a dominating bitch.” It didn’t seem appropriate for the community that has a pinned message about keeping the jokes appropriate enough for a kid.

It had nothing to do with any interaction on a different community. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Apologies. I was feeling a bit too loose and truthful.

It won’t happen again. Strictly safe stuff.

Alright thanks for that. Sorry I did a ban without warning. Still figuring out the whole modding thing. I think I’ll need to get back to a desktop to see the unban option.

edit: Alright it shows on my end that you are now unbanned. Remember not to iron any four-leafed clovers (don't press your luck!). Happy dad-ing out there.

No post to be seen! Error returned.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I can’t see the comment either

“ The server returned this error: couldnt_find_post. ”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I think it's a case of even moderators of other instances can see it. My account has moderator privileges.

Could be, mine only has them on lemmy.world.
