For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

you can't this is your destiny

[–] OpenHammer6677@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (4 children)

While I appreciate the humor, this happened without my knowledge and consent and I don't want to moderate.

[–] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 41 points 2 years ago

Moderate me daddy

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think this calls for a feature where appointing moderators is something that should be confirmed or rejected on the receiving account.
Is there an issue for this kind of thing already open? I wasn't able to find one

Yeah that's how Reddit does it. They invite you as mod, then you have to accept it by clicking a link in your PMs.

It's your supervillain origin story, you can't escape it.

UPDATE

So apparently I was transferred ownership and moderation of this community.

Made a report using this post and it seems like an admin(?) noticed and is taking action.

I guess instead of "Chosen One" this makes me the "Appointed One"???

Thanks everyone!

You're the best man for the job. We took a vote.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago

You can check out anytime you like, but...you can never leave.

Make a comment in the community and remove yourself as a mod from the comment.

Hmmm....

Edit: the admins are working on it (:

Wtf, I thought there's no personal karma on Lemmy at all. Y U have karma?

[–] OpenHammer6677@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Idk, I'm using Boost and that's what it shows

[–] DocCrankenstein@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Cause he's a mod, duh!

/s for those that need it.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

there isn't karma as such, but up/downvotes are readily available and from that you can trivially get a total to display.

In theory there's even nothing preventing you from using a fancier algorithm to calculate something like reddit's karma, but then that wouldn't agree with what most clients display.

Voyager app also shows your "comment score."
