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

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago

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

Also why good moderation is so important

[-] LongLive@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I agree, moderation is important.

How do we keep moderators accountable, so the system continues to function? Is there someone checking them?

[-] PeachyMcPeachface 4 points 2 days ago

The mod log is entirely visible for anyone to view. Anyone can see who we ban and why, comments we remove and why. Posts have been made in the past about mod action that were effective.

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

One thing I don't understand yet is what kind of appeal system is intended on Lemmy if one doesn't want to resort to ban evasion.

Do DMs to instance admins still go through?

[-] PeachyMcPeachface 3 points 1 day ago

I believe so??? Ada's pretty active on 196 either way. Some people use the report feature on mod comments to get in contact with other mods. If I, for example, was being unfair, reporting me might alert other mods to what I'm doing. I wouldn't touch a report with me as the subject, but maybe that's just the good ol autism sensitivity of justice.

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

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 6 points 3 days ago

Me on reddit, when op deletes his post and I want to answer to a comment....

[-] TherapyGary 4 points 3 days ago

That's fair!

I got excited for a minute and checked if we could do that on Lemmy lol

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Yeah, that prospect would get me excited too lol

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 days ago

It wouldn't be nice if everyone coule delete everyone's comments and posts, but you can block someone which deletes them from your life and that's about the same!

[-] TherapyGary 3 points 3 days ago

Well I was thinking just deleting comments off your own posts. People would probably be less likely to waste their time being nasty. I agree it isn't worth the drawbacks though when you can just block- my block list is over 200 lol

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 days ago

Ooh that would be swell!

[-] transhetwarrior 8 points 3 days ago

I can delete other people's comments on my tumblr posts

[-] transhetwarrior 3 points 3 days ago

This is good because I am under fucking attack

[-] EldritchFeminity 9 points 3 days ago

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

[-] PeachyMcPeachface 2 points 2 days ago

Poor John Green. That was wild

[-] TherapyGary 4 points 3 days ago

No way that's so funny

[-] SwordInStone@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago
[-] TherapyGary 3 points 3 days ago

Lmao that perspective actually makes it even funnier

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

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

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

No, it's a secret Jira ad

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 3 points 3 days ago

Can replace it with block button and the meme still works tbh

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 1 points 3 days ago

YouTube? perhaps?

[-] Gormadt 2 points 3 days ago

Honestly I thought it was a "delete my own shitpost" type meme.

I don't do a whole of of this whole "social media" thing
