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

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago (5 children)

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.. Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

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

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago (4 children)

That's fair!

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

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

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

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

This is good because I am under fucking attack

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

No, it's a secret Jira ad

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] SwordInStone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was about mods.

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

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

- gone - !

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Don't insult potatoes like that!

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 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago

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.
