I don’t. On safari iOS and chrome on MacBook I click the three dots and see this:
There’s only the option to block or report, not remove or ban. I tried it on more than one comment. Interestingly I am given ban and remove options on the Lemmios app:
These are using the same account, viewing the same thread on the same community. Maybe it’s a lemmy.world problem?
Damn it. Alt account here I come. Thanks again!
I thought they were coming at me a bit hard, they just wanted to argue with (and insult) me about anything they could. But tbh I can be a bit sensitive so I held off banning them for longer than I might have done if another user reported them for the same thing. Thank you for the reassurance that I wasn’t being reactionary because my feelings were hurt.
I don’t know what I’m missing but I can’t see options to delete/ban while browsing. I usually browse from IOS apps and open lemmy in my phone browser to mod but I used my laptop for this and still couldn’t see it. Also, I’m only given the option to ban for a set number of days, there’s no permaban option. Do I just put a high 4 digit number in?
I will definitely join the mod support you mentioned, and again, thank you for your help!
Thank you for that! I don’t understand all of those terms but I got the gist! For what my opinion is worth, I think blocking a user as a mod should only block them from communities you don’t moderate. Or moderators should be advised to create separate mod/user accounts.
Do you know what happens if someone I’ve previously blocked, then posts to a community I moderate? I was a user before I was a mod and blocked unpleasant people. Could they be making posts or commenting on threads within my communities and I’m not even seeing them? That really interferes with my ability to mod.
I haven’t modded on another site before and I was starting to wonder how people do it! When I initially tried to ban the user I was only offered the option to block them, presumably because no one had reported their comments. That prevented me from seeing the comments that needed to be deleted. I had to unblock the user, report their comments myself (from my mod account, reporting them to me) and then delete the rule breaking comments and ban them.
For the sake of transparency I’d rather not use a different account to comment on posts in my communities, but if I have to then so be it. I’ll use the same username on a different instance. I feel like I should be able to delete comments or ban subscribers while browsing posts from my mod account though. Reporting comments to myself seem ridiculously inefficient.
Thanks for your suggestion!
She looks a little like Paris Hilton in the top photo.
VosotrosPac doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.
I’ve just remembered “I’m a free speech absolutist, but not when it comes to parodies of me” and “tweeting my publicly available flight logs is sending out assassination coordinates”. What a joke of an individual. Cry more Elmo.
Is this first (sorta) rickroll in the fediverse?!
The Memmy app has been having an issue where every single comment you write has 2 upvotes as standard, not the usual 1. Not gonna lie, I thought I was mildly funny/interesting until Memmy acknowledged the error in one of their updates. 🥲
Edit: they just fixed the issue but this comment has a real upvote and I can now go to sleep feeling socially validated!
Frenchie looks utterly bereft!
